miles per tankful

I know there is a forum for this but I think it is closed as there were no reply buttons. I was coming home to Mississippi from PA. Both directions I was getting 285 a tank without the low fuel light coming on. On the last leg of my trip I skipped my usual fill up spot as I thought the next town would have stations (It did not) There was a real long stretch and I was sweating. When I hit 300 I could not believe it. Then when the trip meter said 900 miles (an average of 300 per tank) I was really worried. Then 12 miles out of the next town the low fuel light came on. Ended up getting over 350 miles on the last tank. Real flat driving no AC or Heat but mostly 70 mph so I was amazed.

@circmand

Know that feeling of sweating bullets, not only with the VX either. lol

Congrats on having a very fuel efficient VX.

Hahaha, you are a lucky guy. I get somewhere around 220 miles per tank. 250 if it's all highway driving. I am lifted and running 33" Nitto Trailgrapplers.. and I have a very un-aerodynamic roof rack installed, but still, you are getting great mileage.

In the last couple years I took a few trips to Atlanta and Nashville. On the Nashville trips I purposely waited until the light came on, and that was usually right around 360 miles. I typically fill up when it gets around 350. AC on, cruise control on the interstates at 70 mph. You're right in the ballpark.

I get around 200 per tank, 180-190 if I am having too much fun.

I consistently get 300+ per tank.

Yea, But you're used to going a long ways without refueling...

i get between 260 and 280ish per tank. im lifted and running on 35's.

pretty much stuck at 310 miles per tank regardless of city or highway driving, all stock with roof rack.

300 for me....hwy or street. lifted with 33x10x20

Mostly stock with a roof rack and full sized spare on the rack

240-280 a tank. Bigger meat with S/C.

But I only fill up once a month. She sits in the garage and only comes out to play on weekends. ;)

This is a silly discussion, as it mostly related to show much you are willing to push things :). Is it really THAT different to divide it by the number of gallons it took to fill up and use MPG?

We've had sillier discussions.:)

Based on 20 gallon tank because I like easy math.

Overall average - 14.4 mpg

You have a silly/sad life. When I have to do that I just do an excel spreadsheet

Absoloooootly!!!


it would show some nice cluster's.

Well, in this case, lets make this really simple: How much did it cost you to fill up? Dollars are much more common units for most people ;)

$34.78 if you include the can of Copenhagen & bottle of Mt Dew.:)

i do pizza delivery, get about 80 miles for 1/4 tank.
when i first got the VX i filled it all the way up but noticed fuel smell all the time and the first half a tank went really quick so i only keep it 1/2 full now and its alright

I get 17 MPG consistently with 35's, 5 spd and 4.56 gearing. Mileages gets worse when I switch to smaller tires.
