06 mpg questions
#16
06, 2500, 373, 4X4, stock tires, Automatic. I left Mesa AZ on 6-15-2006 headed for Kansas MO. I had 8039 miles on my truck and was pulling an empty car hauler. My first tank was 480 miles and I added 31.49 gallons which should be 14.60 MPG if my math is correct. My overhead stated 16.3 MPG. I picked up an 1934 Ford Sedan and came home on the 18th with an ending millage of 10626. A total of 2587 miles. I got 13.70 MPG for the trip and the overhead indicated I got 15.3 MPG. I ran 80 MPH in AZ and New Mexico and 70 MPH in Texas, OK, and Kansas. Each tank varried all the way from 16.52 MPG to 10.59 MPG. I guess it depends on head winds, wieght and how high you top can off. I was happy.
