Is your truck 2wd or 4x4?
That is 25.2919mpg...
Yea sir. I’m happy with that number. I know it’ll drop now that I have slightly larger tires and will be levelling soon but as they say you’ve got to pay to play!
Yikes,that's pretty low. Have you done anything to it since the last fill up? I wasn't even that low on my first tank.
No, I haven't.... The weather is becoming cooler now.
That's a heck of a drop though. I don't ever remember it dropping that much when I was living back east. Hopefully you can find out if there's anything wrong with it soon,maybe give iy one more tank?
The cold Minnesota weather is likely the cause. My Fusion hybrid takes a huge hit in mpg this time of year.
I've definitely started to notice a hit in mileage, but it wasn't that drastic. My work commute is starting to produce 19-21mpg, instead of the usual 22-24mpg I used to get in the warmer months. And a trip up the North Shore, which got me 27.5mpg last time in August, only got me 25.5mpg yesterday. Definitely a disappointing hit.
That is quite a drop! I usually notice a drop in mileage come fall as the weather gets colder and the air pressure in the tires falls, which creates a lot more rolling resistance. It could be something else, of course, but I would start looking at the air pressure and taking it up higher than usual to compensate.
Good call! Just checked the app and looks like mine is down 5psi (from 35 to 30 cold). And since this week is going to be consistently in the 30s for highs and 20s for lows, seems like it's not going to change anytime soon so might as well pump them up a bit.
