MPG FUEL MILEAGE 6.0 Diesel

[BamaSixGun]

interstate cruising...nothing special about it.
but i RARELY run those speeds...

ive seen as low as 12.5 pulling my trailer @ 80mph

can't we take a joke sometimes,and stop being so serious.

of course you get better mileage on the interstate with it set on cruise at 70!

i get around 19 to 21mpg on a canadian gallon. that is even with colder temps. kinda driving like a old man, but not all the time. the mileage does drop, the more city driving i do....my truck is completely stock....for now...

i get 15.5 but i have a heavy foot and will lay the hammer down

I get around 16-18 mpg on the highway and 12-13 mpg in town. I run 38" tires, an 8" lift and 4.56 gears. I dont notice to much of a drop with the colder temps maybe 1 or 2 mpg. 15.5 mpg sounds a little low to me for a stock truck.

Also, with oversize tires, youre actually covering more ground than the odometer thinks you are. Unless youve recalibrated the speedo. this site may not work, but its helpful.http://www.csgnetwork.com/automotiveconverters.html Ive never gotten more than 13.9 mpg. Usually about 12.5 pulling a 3000# work trailer. About 10-11 pulling a 9000# play trailer.

hey atk: 19-21 really?? is a canadian gallon any different than an american gallon?
p.s. we finally got some snow...

I think they are the same gallon.

Bendog, I have already recalibrated my speedo but thanks for the info. My mileage was horrible with the stock 3.73's (11 or 12 mpg) but much better with the 4.56's. My mpg is on the canadian gallon.(4.54L vs 3.78L)
