i have a 6" lift 34" tires intake chip and exhaust and im getting average 10-11 mpg on the highway. Why is mine so bad when i see guys with 12"+ lifts sayin they get 14mpg?

 

[TiTAN-]

Maybe they just don't know how to calculate mpg correctly...

I get 9-10 mpg.

 

[KING_Polaris]

Because you drive a Titan. I get 9-10 too on average. If I granny drive it, it does improve but why the hell did I buy a V8 truck to drive like a grandma? :lol:

 

[willjames007]

Titan is terrible on gas mileage. Especially with any mods. Or at least from my experience.

 

[EDDIE FONZARELI]

i granny my shiet and i get 10 highway mpg's

 

[bestatchess]

Nobody gets 14 mpg with a 12" lift.

 

[07 TITAN]

I say you should be happy with all that stuff you have on there. I get 10mpg and im stock height. Life sucks being a V8, really it suck it all up.

 

[nor-cal-titan]

my xterra sucked to. i think its a nissan thing, cuz most other half ton v8s get better than any titan goin down hill with a tail wind

Not entirely true, I've heard that the newer Rams aren't all that great either.

i get 14.5 no matter how i drive, this makes me realize that i got about 10 in my old one that was lifted. And my dad's 2010 tundra thats leveled on 20's gets like 12mpg

You also have some heavy a$$ bumpers. The extra weight from the tires and the bumpers is going to kill you

Where are these guys with 12" lifts that say they get 14 mpg?

When you are calculating mileage, are you adjusting your mileage figure based on the new size of the wheel? This can significantly throw off your results (but your never going to see 16 with that setup). For example, My wife's Pathfinder has wheel that are one size larger than stock 2xx/75/17 vs 2xx/65/17 and it throws off the odometer by 3 miles for every 100 miles. That's about a 10 miles difference on the reading over a long hwy trip. Its not much, but it is enough to raise the MPG over indicated by almost 1 MPG.

Anyway, just a thought, but most of the trucks I see on this website are in the 10-12 range with a big lift and 35" Mud Terrains.

Mines in my siggy and it's going up since I added my CAI.

 

[cancer_researcher]

I granny mine. Only thing different from oem are the 22" wheels and I get 11mpg in strict city driving. http://www.titantalk.com/forums/buy...eels-tires-your-smaller-size-meaty-tires.html

I have been getting 16.2 on the Titan, this is mostly highway.

People asked me all the time what kind of MPG I go with my Jeep Wrangler, lifted, bumpers, body armor etc. I allways told then I do not know, I don't want to know.

That is what my recomendation to you is, learn how to "not want to know". Once you do that you have truelly accepted the concequences of waht you ahve done to your truck. Give and take.

If you want gas mealage go back to stock or ignore those that say they get the same as before the lift and tires.


Some friend of mine just just got a brand new dodge witha 5.7 and another with a Tundra both brag about how great their MPG is. Mine is great if I drive like an old lady too..

 

[darklifter]

my Titan does better than my Grand Cherokee did so I am happy.

You also need to factor in what state you live in and the type of gas. There are over 50 different blends. In the summer I get 10, when I get gas in NC or Upstate NY my mileage jumps 30%.

Going from a regular blend to an ultra low sulfur gas with ethanol I lost 5 miles per gallon. Thank you EPA and environmentalists.

I thought my '06 did very well on MPG for a full size truck. With the OEM tires on the off road package and a mini lift I got 12-15 putting around the farm and consistent high teens on the highway. On one rare occasion when I had to get some turkeys to the vet in a hurry, I filled up right off of the interstate and burned the entire tank without any stops at 75 miles an hour and calculated 20 MPG when I had to stop and fill up. Must have had the wind at my back or something

I have a lowered 2wd and I recently went from 265 70 18 tires to 265 60 18s (about 1.5" shorter) and my mpgs went up by exactly 1. I average only 13.9 now but I have 138,000 miles so mine is a bit tired I guess.
