What I generaly do is if coming up on a hill with a low grade I'll hold my speed and while on the flat at 40 mph I'll usually get 58 - 60 mpg if I hold 40 on the slight upgrade hill it will usually drop to 38 - 42 mpg depending on grade. Luckily I'm in a mostly flat area with a lot of farms. I don't expect to hold it with this trip coming up but in the meantime.go Team Chevy!!!ĭWL hasn't worked well for me. Was also able to obtain a 3 tank average of above 50 mpg and continue to hold it through 2 more fill ups. Would have liked to have made it a propper 500+ mile tank but heading across state tomorrow for a wedding and I wanted a seporate consumption report for that round trip so I ended my tank early. With such a good start I tried to push it for the hole tank but drizzle and slightly more traffic for the next 2 days had me pick up my speed to about 48 mph and drop my mpg down to 55.1 mpg.įourth day was clear so I was able on my last round trip to and from work to bump it back up to the 55.49 mpg I ended it at. From the gas station to work (35 miles) I had an average of 58.1 mpg, on the trip home (slighly more uphill) it dropped to 57.4 mpg. With good weather and no traffic, did 42 mph the majority of the way to work. Started my tank out on Sunday morning after I filled up at my local gas station. ![]() I plan to replace it with a better looking and more sturdy version and will document that on here when I get around to doing it. Pumped tires up a bit more, running them at 47 - 49 psi warm which is like 46 psi cold, 2 psi above sidewall rating.Īlso have a pexiglass lower grill block that has been showing a good 1 - 2 mpg improvement.
