What does your 4x4 get for gas mileage?

[fast95pony]

Just passed through 30k mark. Truck says fuel average is 15.3L/100km . That's mostly city driving,with a few trips to Saskatoon ,and a few trips towing a 5600lb trailer.

'11 F150 FX4 Supercrew , 5.0 , 3.73 ,tow package.

I have the exact same year and engine as you and I'm getting 13.3L/100km from the onboard comp. Probably lower if I drive more often on the highway

mind you, i drive like a grandpa haha

2009 GMC 2500.

Unloaded highway is 9.7L/100km on the last trip to Medicine Hat (118 km/h)


City is averaging 12.2L/100km



Unfortunitly i only get this on my HOT tune which does smoke under load at low RPM, but it is significantly (1.5-2L/100) better than any other tune

[max_boost]

My 2011 Subaru Tribeca, advertised City 13.1l/100kms and 9.1l/100kms highway. I don't get it. I get 14-15l/100kms mixed driving. I would be lucky if I get to 400kms a tank.

However my dad's 2009 Tribeca averages 12.6l/100kms.

LOL WTF.

Damn you that is so fucking sweet. Diesels with a tune are the best.

I just towed an 8x18' trailer from Swift Current to Medicine Hat, loaded with all my house stuff. At 120km/hr the computer calculated 28.6L/100km. I don't know how people pull trailers with lifted trucks, because I sure as fuck can't.

Edited to add: the computer is within a few tenths of hand-calculated numbers, in case anyone was wondering. So it probably is as bad as it looks.

Don't lift your truck if you want to tow and get good fuel economy.

Last year to Pentiction and back i had 9000 lbs (8X30' ish bumper pull) behind me, 1860 km total trip i used only my 220L tank and two 20L jerry can. Cruise set at 120 the whole way and roughly 15L/100km

I'm a little surprised that the mileage drops so much with a trailer, but it's the exhaust temperature that has my attention the most. I'd get better mileage if I didn't have to pull every hill in 4th gear at 2700rpm because that's the only way to keep my EGT under 1300 degrees. I don't know what would happen if I had an actual hill to climb.

Find a better tow tune, but since you have a 2010 duramax, i think, you can run them up to 1500 F for short periods of time before it gets in the danger zone

I was 5th gear going from Summerland to Kamloops which is a long 8-10% grade with EGT's less than 1200 at 120 km/h

Yeah dude, thats..... honestly amazing, and Im not just saying that.

With our 2009 Silverado 2500HD (with the 6.0L Gas) it doesn't get much better then 18L/100km's... which is fucking horrific to what Im used to. Thats mainly highway with a bit of running around the farm towing shit, so Im sure that doesn't help though.


Fuck, fuck fuck I wish we would have payed more for the Duramax... its SUCH an amazing engine.

[f150mikey060]

average 15.3L/100km in my 2006 chevy 2500 duramax

My old 2001 Duramax (LB7) is still the love of my life, so good on fuel compared to anything I've owned since. Shame I kept slipping the transmission from running a 120hp tune on it. But if you could lay into it softly and lay off the pedal during shifts it would just fly, and return great mileage.

Ditto set up, 4.7L v8 4runner, 12.9L/100km from the onboard comp. But real world hand calculated is closer to 14.3L/100km. Light footed driving. Just swapped to 32's yesterday and I expect a big hit in mileage.

[GS430]

Mixed city/highway driving, my '99 pathfinder 3.3 does approx. 13-15L/100km. It's lifted with bigger tires, and a rack on the roof.

It's not bad, but I baby the shit out of it.

[Boosted131]
