MPG @ 3000 mi.

Just came back from 260 mile run and got 20. 5 mpg. Wow on winter fuel, no less. Stock truck.

WOW. Is it 2wd? Single or Dual wheel?

 

[DocDetonancour]

It's a 4 x 4 2500. Engine totally stock.

Musta been a heckuva trip trekkin' across southern Idaho at 55 mph

Very happy Vaughn. I try not to let many pass as the roads still have winter gravel that really screws the Patriot blue up. This engine gets better mpg than my 96 5 speed and I thought it was great. I'd be leary of going to larger tires for fear of losing the mpg. Thinking of going to May madness and will get a good test on some of that premium Utah fuel. Have fun, Doc

mileage sucks. 80-85 mph across ND and MT. head wind both ways = 11. 5 mpg on overhead. 7000+miles on truck now. can do 14. 5 if i baby it under 60 with no fast starts.

Must say dolden I never travel 80 +. I do stay up with traffic and blow by C & F on all hills.
