18mpg

If you're driving it easy, you should be doing better than that. Especially since it isn't winter time yet.

Carry a lot of weight? Camper shell?

Empty bed. No bed cover. It is 4WD. I run 2WD. I have to think the 33" K02s are part of the issue. They are very blocky and heavy. Maybe I should push the peddle harder.

Well, it doesn't hurt to let it breathe once in a while but mine seems to be getting better with age.

At just shy of 20K miles, I get low to mid 20s without trying and have topped 30 a couple times. More or less a stock truck. Maybe 70 or so lbs of gear and a soft tonneau. Tier 1, 87 octane, normal mode, mixed city, hwy. We'll see what cold temps bring but I'll expect upper teens to low 20s.

If I decide that its a play day in sport mode and exercising the turbos, 16, if I bother to look.

I'd be happy with 22mpg. With a light foot I expected 24. What wheels/tires do you have?

Those are pretty heavy tires. Depending on the rim size you're looking at around 50-60 lbs a tire compared to OEMs being around 40. Try leaving it in normal mode. I actually get worse mpg on surface streets in eco than in normal with mine.

Normal 23-28 city
eco 21-22 eco.

Are you short tripping?

Are you short tripping?

Yes, that may be part of it. Longest drive so far 30 miles. Got 18mpg taking it easy, 20- 60mph. Truck is used, 63000miles

18" OEM Wrangler Territory AT. I like them. Might be a bit soft for hard core four wheeling but Forest Service trails, are no problem.

I have a ‘22 302A and my mileage has dropped a little lately. I also experienced my first ever low battery situation during this same time period. I plan on replacing both batteries as a string and we’ll see if it changes anything.

I went from easily getting 22 to rarely hitting 20. I’m a reasonably aggressive driver. Not road raging or anything like that, but I enjoy driving my truck and I get where I’m going lol.

Ubetchya Got 18mpg taking it easy

On similar length trips mixed interstate, country, suburban I regularly get 22-24mpg in summer. At 25-60mph I get a couple of mpg more. I've got to stomp on it pretty hard to get down to 18, and I'm never trying for hyper mileage. Mileage sucks until it warms up. By 5 miles I'm up to 185-200 degrees.

Suggest watching boost. It gets thirsty when boosting. Mine likes to boost rather than downshift.

I wonder if Forscan can tell if the hybrid battery has deteriorated.

There are guys here with custom files built for the PB on their OBDLinkMX etc. I need to change out the batteries after experiencing that 12.2V condition anyway. I mean the 12V batteries and not the HV battery pack.

 

[Samson16]

To be more clear, I am changing out my batteries because I didn’t like seeing that low battery indication, and interested to see if my mpg goes back to my “normal” afterwards. I don’t hand calculate but I have trip 1 with about 8,000 miles on it and it’s slowly dipping down. 19.8 now from 21.6 in mid October. Is scientific anecdotal a thing? In the Air Force we called it a SWAG
