Report your MPG

[Friday yet?]

That's some amazing gas mileage for a Tremor. Mine tanks the MPG crossing any mountain pass, sitting in traffic, or off-roading. And yes, even taking back roads (speed limit 45-55) it's hard to get great MPG unless all you do is drive 50MPH country roads for hours on end.

While it is well known that blue adds HP, few folks realize that blue also increases MPG.

I’ve used sites like TOP TIER when I’m in uncharted territory.

Edit: Holy sh*t. I did a new search and just realized my local BP (and presumably Amoco/BP across the board) is no longer Top Tier. Ugh…

Yea, I got sucker punched with BP as well. BP dropped out a few years back. Probably 4+ years now. I used a local BP religiously thinking they were in the program. Then one day noticed that there were no "Top Tier" decals to be seen. Hit up my buddy Google while still at the pump and learned why.

That said, if need be I will still on rare occassion buy 93 at BP if it is my only option. (BP is the only major brand near my house. Everything else is Bubba's gas mart.) Per BP's website their additive package exceeds Top Tier standards. Mostly I just make sure that I fuel up while in Chattanooga. Then I have multiple choices, though Shell is my go to.

I did a bit of googling myself - but, couldn’t find a definitive reason “why” - just speculation. I strictly run 93 in my Bronco, but the Ranger has been getting 87. I’ve been meaning to go over there and see which contain “Invigorate”.

Just one data point.

On around town 100%, I get 19.5-20.5 MPG. My Ranger is a 2022 LTX FX4. The more I drive on the freeway (as long as I keep it under 70), I get about 2.0 MPG better, call it 22 MPG average.

If I am driving on fire roads, logging trails and 4X tracks (about half my driving overall, much of it in 4X modes), mileage drops to 15-17 MPG.

20.0 on my last tank with E15 88, that's what I usually run, my driving is mixed.

Alright…I was giving our new setup some time and a few weeks to average out. Lots of under 15 mile drives on a weekly basis with a few 1.5-2 hr road trips. Very minimal off-road so far - but, that will change now that I’m mostly recovered from shoulder surgery.

This is onboard calculations with my tire circumference dialed in via Forscan within a half a point confirmed via GPS app. I have yet to calculate using Fuelly because that’s hard to manage being that it’s my wife’s daily.

Full bolt on, e30 and a turbo upgrade.
I’m getting 18mpg on my normal commute (mixed driving, dropping kids, remote starting and using drive through daily, mostly in sport and with “spirited driving”)
On a simple trip (90%. Highway limited traffic and no real stopping but still speeding etc) I’m getting almost 22mpg
I’m very happy with my mileage.

Half week ago and 6G RR.
This is what it is now.
Can’t complain but if you get yourself a RR, fuel consumption is last thing you’re allowed to complain about I guess.

Translated to Freedom Units, that's 19.1 miles per gallon. Not bad. It will probably get better after 3k to 5k miles, 5-8k Km.

Dang. Nice cluster.

Popping back in with a couple more personal datapoints. These are only based on using the trucks (tire-size corrected) Trip MPG reporting.

Memphis to St Louis with Softopper, big 4 bike rack and 3 bikes - 20.4mpg
- 98% highway driving
Memphis to Birmingham with Softopper and lightweight Kuat rack and 2 bikes - 22.8mpg
- 75% highway and 25% in town at Guntersville, AL and Birmingham.

Switching to Mobil 1 has improved my MPG almost 1 MPG from Amsoil. And Amsoil reduced my MPG by almost MPG from stock oil.

So it looks like the thicker Amsoil is good for engine life but cuts down on MPG a little bit.

It also tested thicker so not sure if it’s only better under “extreme” conditions like Death Valley towing a trailer.

For a DD, Mobil 1 (for the price) is hard to beat for both MPG, faster warm-ups, and flow when cold. It’s a tiny, almost insignificant change, but every little thing seems to matter on this truck when it comes to MPG.

And no, my driving style has not changed. I do almost all 45-55mph country driving except for some short trips where the MPG always tanks.

i have to add how impressed i am with mobil one. i recently put mobil1 in my 4g ranger with the 3.0 v6. its a good engine but fairly gutless. after some miles with mobil one its runs cooler and noticeably stronger. i was kinda shocked.

21 stock tremor. Did another 7 hour drive from VA to NY and got 22.3. All types of driving. Cruise at 65,70,80. Some small town areas of 25-35 mph. Hit 90 a couple times. Mountains up & down. I’ll take that any day. And as always a super comfortable long trip truck. Great seat position & smooth driving the entire trip.

I thought I should start a thread about what kinda mileage eveyoeve is getting.

Include the type of driving you do city/highway %, driving style, gas used, if your using the auto start/stop feature and aprox engine mileage.


So I'm on my third tank of gas and tgt mileage has been improving.

• 70%/30% city/highway
• Average
• 87 oct
• Start/stop: off
• 600 miles
• 4x4, FX4

Computer MPG 19.5
Manual calc MPG 20.5

70% / 30% city - highway
93 octane
BMS unplug
4wheel drive FX4 SUPERCAB
19.5 CITY As high as high as 29 flat highway, 70 mph , cruise
Muffler delete
