Look closer at the title. ?
Sorry about that, now I get it. ?
I don't drive it like I stole it. I drive more rural roads than anything. 4 hour trip to the coast on the highway and still averaging 22 mph.
Neither do I and I am nowhere near that. Most of the miles are from it driving me to and from work. Coming back is all traffic though.
In hot climates the higher knock resistance is noticeable with 93, and since these vehicles actually monitor and compensate for octane changes, it isn't a "waste," to run higher octane.
This is exactly what I'm averaging. My computer is now up to 22 mpg with just over 2300 mi on the truck. 5.0 two-wheel drive supercrew XL. I have a very steady light foot but from stops on occasion it is fun to wind it out a bit. No real stop and go, mostly North Carolina 2 lane roads 35 to 55 MPH.
I've figured it's just the use of the truck for me as to why my MPG drops. We took a trip from SoCal to Phoenix, AZ and I managed to pick my average MPG up from 14.3 to 15.6. But now that we are back to daily life, it's quickly dropping. The only time the truck moves is driving the family to soccer practice/games or weekend stuff with the family. We hit a lot of lights and surface road driving (40 mph) and consistently hit heavy traffic.
