How many of you guys use your L as a daily driver? Also, who has the fastest daily driver please post your mpg and mods (if not in sig.)

I use mine for a daily driver. I average bout 14-15 mpg round town and bout 16 or so on the highway so far. Ive only had the truck about three months and still find myself getting in the boost all the time.

 

Mines a daily driver, only engine mods are chip and intake but i get 10mpg in city and about 15-16 hwy.

 

Daily driver here if i dont drive normal i get about 10mpg and about 14-15mpg normal driving.

What do you get driving normal? svt450r

 

14-15mpg mostly city driving. The key is to stay under 2000 rpms.

 

Jim, looks like you may have gained a little mileage along with a lot more power with your mods. Is this the case with some of you other built motor guys?

 

I didn't get that kind of mileage until Jim programmed the truck with the new SCT stuff. It was always in the 10-12 range with just a chip.

 

i can drive from San Antonio to Ft Worth on a full tank and when I get ther 257 miles I have a 1/4 tank left. I do have fun along the way...I35 has a lot of wide open road between Waco and Ft worth. I cruise at about 90 during that 75 mile stretch. Lots of fun!!!!!!

 

I drive mine daily, (night fun) have a 2nd vehicle now to use for work and the parking lot dings and flats. I get @ 9-11 MPG

Drove it the first 2 years 24/7, 365, but the NY winters, sand and salt is a MF on the under carriage, no more of that........

 

Mine used to be the daily driver until 11/30 of last year, when I picked up a 2005 Mustang GT (special thanks to Suavy for the x-plan).

 

I usually get 9-11mpg. I'm stock too.

 

Mine was a daily driver until this weekend

I out a little more than 1k miles per month on it and usually get 280 miles to the tank. The past few have been less (around 250 - 260).
