Real world fuel mileage

2012 F250 6.7 Diesel (deleted all DEF systems and straight piped) stock tires/wheels

12-14mpg pulling 6k trailer on interstate

19-22mpg with no trailer at interstate speeds
 
2018 F-150 5.0 V-8, I've had it for six months and 7500 miles. Averaged 19.0 mpg, during that time frame. Both highway and around town. Really impressed with the mileage on the highway if you don't drive it to hard, gets up to 24 mpg.
 
2004 Ford F250 PSD 6.0 L diesel. I can get 20 without the camper on it. With the 4000 pound camper I get 13.5 if I keep it at 60MPH. If I pull my two place trailer with two atv’s in it it goes down to 11.5-12 mpg. I bullet proofed it after 110,000 trouble free miles. Going to a 4” exhaust and getting rid of the catalytic converter gained me about 2mpg.
 
2017 Chevy 1500 Crew Cab. 5.3L completely stock. Mixed “ Town” driving average 14-16.5 mpg. 18-22 mpg average highway. Best short distance average 32.1 mpg West Yellowstone to Bozeman MT. Best long distance trip Bozeman to SLC Utah. 22.5 mpg. Don’t tow much but usually have 2 dirtbikes in the bed. Seems to maybe take away 1 mpg
 
2017 Ford F150, crew cab, V6 ecoboost with topper sheel on back
Straight long distance highway 65-70 mph is get 19.5 mpg
Mixed city/Hwy around 18 mpg
 
Toyota 4Runner trail edition, 2016 model. Have 66000 on the truck, and have tracked my mileage from day one with fuelly and I’ve averaged 21.5 for the life of the truck. High of 24.7 and low of 19.5. First 40k on the truck were with factory tires, last 26k have been with BFG KO2’s that are factory recommended size. Suspension is stock and haven’t changed anything on the truck.

I drive conservatively. One thing I’ve noticed after owning this truck while living in Alabama, Colorado, and Kentucky, is that gas mileage was consistently 1-2mpg better in high elevations running 85 octane vs low elevation running 87. Best mileage ever was while I was driving to a from a scouting trip along I-70 in the mountains.
 
I own a ram and my computer tells me how great my MPG are. Unfortunately, Ram's computer is off by 2-3 MPG on average. I have confirmed this with 4 other 2014 and newer rams and ALL 5 of our vehicles are off by 2-3 MPG. Newer Ram owner's do the math next time you fill up, ( preferably at the same pump) and I am sure you will be disappointed.
I did the math dozens of times. My Ram would be generous and give me an additional .5 mpg consistently. The numbers I quoted were actual mileage and I assume many others of all makes considered this too. Most folks know not to trust the truck gauge.
 
2018 Ford Raptor: Twin turbo V-6, 20k miles, ARE topper

Getting ~16.5-17 mpg around town and up to 18.5 mpg on highway.
 
2018 Ram Power Wagon
“stock” (factory lift, 33” tires, winch, lockers, and 4:10’s)
6.4L

Average 11.5 MPG for all driving

I do use all the “stuff” pretty regularly and would guess a 50/50 use of hi way vs off road use. I love the truck comfortable and super capable, but what a gas pig.
 
2018 Tundra 1794
5.7L V8 running regular unleaded
I do not drive with any intention on saving fuel. I just go.

  • 13mpg overall on the average tank with mixed city/highway
  • 16mpg on the highway @80mph
  • 9-10mpg in “hunting mode” with 2 adults, gear, 14’ utility trailer and CanAm Defender Max

2014 Ram 4x4, 5.7, 8-speed transmission. I average 20 mpg, but can get 23 mpg if I keep my foot out of it.
 
17 ram 2500 crew cab long box 4x4 6.4 stock wheels, tires, suspension. cruise on 70,19.4 mpg. cruise on 80, 15.9 mpg.

2.5 inch level on 35s with some offset. 14-15 on the interstate and 12ish otherwise.
 
2012 Ram Laramie Limited 20" stock rims running Cooper AT3 don't do a lot of city driving but avg between 16-17 depending on the season, truck likes warmer temps and have averaged over 20 mpg at 50 mph in the summer time. As these are off-road tires off road mileage drops dramatically to 11-13 mpg as does towing the tandem dog trailer 13-14 mpg
