Re: Good mpg!
Why are some people getting 19-20 mpg while I only get at best so far with 17.5-18mpg max with all highway driving. I drove from Minnesota to North Dakota last two week for a fishing trip and could only get 17.5mpg, maybe 18mpg with the cruise control set at 70mph/75mph. I am wondering what octane and also what state you are in for those getting 19-20mpg because it is probably the gas also that is giving you more mpg. Here in the midwest, MN, we have at least 10% ethanol added to our gas and I think that plays a big part in why I can not reach that 19-20mpg. I would be very happy if I am getting 19-20mpg though with my 5.7 SR5 TRD DC.
Any thoughts on this gas thing? I drive like an old man so it is not my driving habit that is preventing me from getting the higher gas mileage, I think the gas octane (87/89 octane for me), gas type (/w and /wo ethanol), and gas station has a lot to do with what you get in different part of the country. I mainly use Conoco, Holiday, and sometimes Super America for gas here in MN.
