hey pluck i drive ALL CITY and im getting 13.7 miles per gallon with 1500 miles on the truck. not sure whats wrong with your truck but i really belive the 18 is possible. but i have not tested that its an asuumption only but the 13.7 was tested through 3 tanks of 87 grade gasoline :smoke:pluckyew said::dude:
it's not possible...but it's good to dream
i'd just like to get 14 mpg again.
LOL Doghouse, won't you get run over by a tractor/trailer when you are doing only 55mph on the turnpike?Doghouse said:Keep it at 55 and when getting to that speed, keep it under 2K.
You will be amazed at what you can get. I tested late at night coming down Jersey Tnpk. 17.3 mpg which is close enough in my book for an engine that is not broken in.
Tell that to my Honda dealer for me!pluckyew said:re: keane's "...I just computed my gas mileage in American mpg on my 2003 CR-V. I got 18.0 mpg with 60% highway mileage..."
wow, that's amazingly bad mpg for a 4-banger.
my Titan milage is lousy based on my expectations of 14-18, but compared to my 2000 wranger I6 4.0L my Titan's actually better on the highway. go figure. :upsidedow
the way Titan easily creeps up to 90 mph, it'll be days before i get me a phat speeding ticket. :smoke:
LOL, that is the truth. I have had two speeding tickets in the last 2 years, and nowadays I don't push it. The CHP will get you eventually, and with the rifle rack in your rear window, I am sure they will have their guns drawn and you will be exiting the vehicle with your hands in the air. :jester:pluckyew said:the way Titan easily creeps up to 90 mph, it'll be days before i get me a phat speeding ticket. :smoke:
I would predict worse mileage with 89 octane, and no effect on engine wear.Sabre66 said:Anyone think using 89 Octane vs. 87 Octane will make a difference? In either mileage or engine wear? :huh:
What would the reasoning be with your comments? Just curious.outahere said:I would predict worse mileage with 89 octane, and no effect on engine wear.
Tried to stay below 70mph with my second fill-up and got 13.5 mpg. That's 0.6 mpg better than the first fill-up. At 535 miles now, hopefully by 1000 i will be getting closer to 15mpg avg.Doghouse said:Keep it at 55 and when getting to that speed, keep it under 2K.
