I too have a 95 Nissan, it's a 4x4 with some scary frame rot! It's my to and from work beater and I plan on driving it until it breaks in half lol.

Good to see the truck getting its rated mileage thus far. 20 mpg combined is dang good for a 4x4 supercrew. Would love to see if the 25 mpg highway that the ford reps were claiming at the drive events is attainable in the real world. I think once broken in it probably will be.

I'm from MN and we're getting ready for this weather as well! Stay safe out there.

On a side note are you doing the manual suggested break in procedure (varying speeds etc...) or are you just cruising when you get on the highway?

Thanks for keeping everyone updated!

I forgot to mention there is 3 miles unaccounted for. I for got to rest the trip so I reset it at the stop sign by my house, which is 3 miles. It's a 3 mile stretch of 55. So my bad.

I'll be curious to see if a 2wd can get the advertised 26 mpg on the highway. I find my trip computer usually reads 3-4% optimistic, so that would still be 23.3ish. Have you hand calcucated yet 24.3 is awesome!

It's only my3rd fill up and it has always been within half a gallon. My 09 was the same. Pretty accurate
