MPG report after a recent roadtrip vacation.

[JohnDLG]

2020 Supercrew FX4, has about 6k miles on it now. Previously when I was driving up to San Antonio and back to the Corpus area, the computer was showing a range of 299 miles. I was wondering why I was getting such low mpg. On the highways I was driving about 80-85mph.

Recently we vacationed at a state park further north, rented a cabin for a few days. This time I decided try keeping it at 70-75mph, and only going faster when necessary to get around traffic. Lo and behold after my next fill-up the computer claims my vehicle's range is now 436 miles. I just though it was interesting how a 10mph difference can give you an extra 130ish miles of range.

Mines 2wd and on road trips at 70-75 it will calculate 470-490 miles to empty. ABOVE 75, IT DROPS LIKE A ROCK.

If I go do 120 (km/h) I average 10.8-11.5 L/100km but if I do 110-115 I am at 9.7L/100km (below combined sticker L/100km). Just seems to be something in the gearing or whatever... someone suggested turning traction control off to improve mileage, I am trying it but last few days we have had some heavy rains so...

Same here with my Extend cab. Over 75, and it's like chit running through a goose.

Our last trip was to Tennessee, a round trip of approx. 400. Stayed around 70, and at the end the compooter thingy showed 27.3 mpg. Even if that's one mpg off I'd still happy with that.
