Pure Highway my 2010 V6 Automatic is getting almost 30 MPG, anywhere from 65-80 on the way to work.
I wonder what it would do if I did the Speed limit

2/3 left in my tank. MPG for the 1/3 I used (almost all city)?


12.


EW. And this is only with spirited acceleration maybe 25% of each stoplight.

Makes you wish you got the V6, doesn't it, Joker?

My last 3 trips I've averaged over 30 mpg with the last tank across Virginia, from Radford to Deltaville, getting 33.8. This was running interstate at 70-80 mph. I also double check mileage when I fill up and the mpg gauge is very close. Very pleased!

My 2011 5.0 reads a consistent 7% low on the Info Center ie 23 mpg actual will show 21.4 mpg on Info Center.

Mine's low, too. First tank reported 16.7 but it was 17.6. Last tank reported 17.5 but it calculated out to 18.6.

This tank is reporting 23.7 so far. I'm going to try to be responsible for this tank and see how high I can get it.

Since I do a lot of driving of both city and interstate it seems to confuse my computer on the '05, it's quick to take miles away but stingy at giving them back. With that said, I've driven it down to 3 miles til E so I trust the thing.

I checked mine on the trip from CO to VA and the gallons used is WAY off - 2 to 3 gallons low per tank. Hence my fuel mileage is simply awesome on the computer. In reality I averaged 22.6 for the trip.
