Report your MPG

To bad we couldn't just coast down hill all the time ?

Take a look at all the numbers, then get back to me

Where do you live? Elevation changes....mountains/hills?

It's not mentioned as much in MPG conversations, but it's definitely a factor. All these numbers being posted aren't comparing apples to apples unless roads and terrain are the same, and obviously, that's impossible.

I get 22.5 to 24.0 pretty consistently, but it's FLAT where I live and I use/accelerate with cc as much as possible. Little to no climbing. I see a difference whenever I'm somewhere with even just slight rolling elevation.

Sea level, and totally flat...

Never saw that color before. Nice color.

I guess I haven't paid attention to details since I got out of the navy ?

22.5 mph. Not too shabby for the first tank of gas.

Average around 16 mostly city. Have not been on pure highway for a while but was averaging 23mpg with low head/cross winds. Headwinds plummet the mileage to 20.

My F150 got better city mileage so I'm not fond of bullshit.

I don't get it... I think my 2WD is a lemon given how far off I am from advertised. Others said their mileage got better with miles, but mine hasn't (at all).

I'm still at 20 mpg highway at 65 mph (hand calculated), and I'm at 6000 miles now. It's been a consistent 19-20 mpg since purchase.

It was the same 19-20 mpg before adding the canopy, so no perceptible mpg change from that.

I just don't understand what I can do to increase mileage to what others are reporting
My other vehicles get great mileage, and I'm a gentle driver, so it's not my driving habits... (I even have a throttle controller set to economy mode).

Thoughts/advice?

I know little to nothing about throttle controllers.....but I thought they were typically used/intended to improve throttle response?? It would make sense that improving the acceleration/response adversely impacts your mpg....even if set to economy mode (economy mode may just lessen the adverse effects). The only way to know for sure would be to test with and without. Did you calculate your mpg before adding the controller?

2022 Tremor with 3,200 miles and the lowest I've gotten is 20.7 and the highest is 24.3 per tank.

Yep, I calculated your mpg before adding the controller (no change from after adding the controller). I added it due to the poor mileage

Throttle controllers just adjust throttle in general -- they're not just for increased acceleration. In particular, economy mode is designed to save fuel over a stock configuration: it creates gentle acceleration.

I think that's Magnetic at sun set...

Just ran a tank of 93 octane (i've used 87 exclusively for 9,000 miles). I didn't hand calc, but by the dash (which is consistently about 1.2mpg high) I got the worst mileage of any tank so far. I know I've read higher octane does better, but I didn't see it. It was just 1 tank....maybe I'll try again and baby it a bit more, but I was pretty surprised.

It can take a few tanks for the ecu to adjust, so wouldn't read too much into it after just one tank.

See my signature. Still pretty new, about 2/3 highway driving at 80mph average. 87 Octane for all fill-ups.

Edit: Both Rangers 22.7 on 93 octane in the white tuned lowered truck.
and 87 octane in the blue truck.
