Gas Mileage / Miles to E
I love this truck but this drives me insane about it.
My commute to work is 8 miles, and takes about 20-25 minutes. 6 miles of highway, 2 miles of city. In that 8 miles, my mi to E will go down anywhere from 20-30 miles every single time. Today’s drive I started with 430 and ended with 403 (that’s -27 miles for the non-math folk), during an 8 mile commute.
My MPGs say they are 19.4, and tell me I am getting above that for most of my drive. Yet if I were truly getting 19.4 MPG for the whole drive then I would be using less than half a gallon of gas in my commute and my miles to empty would go down by 8 and not 27.
I am insanely gas mileage conscious to the point my wife needs to tell me to shut up about my MPGs. I am super light on the gas, drive 60 on the highway, and I leave the live gas mileage bar up on the screen at all times to make sure I am preserving gas and maximizing efficiency.
In the past year I have paid for: new brakes, new tires, wheel hub replacement, and always get my oil changes before the deadline. I also just replaced the air filter 500 miles ago.
Is there something I am missing? I get it city driving burns more fuel but it’s like every 50 feet I move it ticks down another mile.
