Miles per full tank
Miles per full tank
I've got a 2001 SCrew and was just wondering what everyone else was getting to a full tank on average. I get usually around 300mi to a full tank (when the light comes on) if I'm easy around town and drive a fair amount of hwy miles. Was just wondering if this is about right for a truck of this year with 87xxx mi on it.
i get about 350-370 per tank depends on my driving week and how fast i drive...if i drive heavily and fast ill get around the lower 300's...i never complain about gas anymore because my moms Ram 1500 Hemi-Sport, although i love the truck is getting about 11 mpg...haha so im happy...later
Ok guys please tell me what I'm doing wrong then I am lucky if I get 250 miles to a tank. I know I got 285's but even then I had my 255's it still got maybe 260. I have a 2001 4x4 5.4

I am lucky to get 270 and do almost all city, i have been thinking about adding these " http://www.savefueldollarsnow.com/ccindex.html " to try to increase. Even highway I don't break 300

Mileage
I go about 320 a tank, light comes on around 340 in a 2WD 03 Supercrew. I run the roads in Houston daily, so it is a combination of highway and byway. Averaging 15-16 mpg.
If momma lets me, I am wanting go with e-fans, and an intake. We shall see.

2001 Screw 4.6 4x4; I get about 320 per tank when I am running around town. That's when the light comes on. On highway trips, I get about 380 before the light comes on..... as long as I use the cruise. I have futura adventurer tires on it, so it's setup for the hardball.
Low Fuel light usually comes on around 390 miles on the SuperCrew (2005 FX4, 5.4L, 30 gallon tank). Takes about 27 gallons to fill up the tank. So, I guess I could probably go 430 miles or so before running her dry.
Of course, depends on the time of year. Mileage always goes down the drain in the winter.

fuel milage
to answer a question about how to get higher fuel milage.
i know this won't be a popular suggestion but i have had great success getting high (comparatively) fuel milage by keeping the rpm's under 2k. in my truck that means not punching to merge into traffic, and keeping speeds under 70mph. with that i manage about 315-325 per tank. i own a 2003 lariat supercrew with a 5.4. i'm sure i could do even better if i didn't use the climate control system.
