Who has a diesel and whats your mpg?

[fordman00]

Hey everyone just curious how many miles per gallo do you get with your diesel not towing? I have a 99 pstroke stock except exhaust and somehow I'm only getting 10-12 in town and I drive like an 80 year old grandma! it does have bigger tires which may be a factor but still 12 mpg!

I have a 02 extended cab short bed 4x4 cummins empty I'm around 18.5mpg with my gooseneck on I get around 14.5mpg. I have a couple of small mods done to it.

That's bout right for a choke... Put a box on it and it may get a Lil better but not much

Just talked to 2 guys here at work, both completely stock 4x4 versions:

'99 auto - 16 highway, 13-14 city
'00 6-speed - 18 highway, no city info, but about 14 towing 7k on highway

[fordman00]

Hmmmm.I dont know, it just irritates me because I know it can do better.I gave a l99 as well ext. Cab 4x4stock except tires n exhaust.

Have you corrected the speedo/odo for the larger tires? If not, you are actually getting more miles out of a tank of fuel

[fordman00]

No,I actually have not but I hope to be getting a chip soon and maybe down size my tire size.

i've got a '99 with the 6 speed two wheel drive i get around 17 combined city and highway. everything is stock

I have an 03' Cummins auto, 2wd and get about 20-21 daily driving mixture and get about 15-16 towing my Jeep running at 70. If I go above 70ish it drops fast. All stock with a Leer Snug Top on it.

2010 dodge 2500 4x4 mega cab
16-18 highway or around town 35 mph or 75 mph doesnt matter

But put a 24' GN behind it and BAM bout 8-12

I am running 33's with the odo corrected

I put a 6" lift and 37's on it for about 3 months and took that **** right back off. It Dropped to 12-13 MPG and with me averaging 1000-1500 miles a week that wasnt going to cut it...

I have a 99 with the 6 speed 4x4 on 35s. I get 12 highway, 12 city, and 12 regardless of how much weight I have behind it. I have a ts 6 position and keep it on the 50 horse. Not much difference bt the 50 horse and the.rest of the settings with stock injectors other than the amount of smoke imo. I hope to lower it to a 2 or 4 inch lift (currently an 8") so that should help my milage a little. I want to get it up to around 15.

i just sold my old 97 12 valve 4x4 5 speed x-cab that was getting 25ish empty and around 18 towing. had well over 500.000 on it too. my 03 crew cab is around 22 empty and 14 towing. it is a two wheel auto tho.gabby.

I have a 05 Dodge CCLB 3500 single rear wheel 6 speed. On the highway it will all most break 20. Hand calculated it comes in right at 19.97 most of the time. Towing I usually get 14-15. I drive right at the speed limit and run my smarty jr on #2 with an intake and exhaust.

Fordman00, I've had 6 or 7 Powerstrokes. My last one was a 2000 CCSB and the best it would get was 14 and 9-10 towing. They were good trucks but I couldn't get the milage up.
