I've got 19 idling hours and a total of 128 engine hours. Is that about average or not? Seems like a lot of idling to me. I did get 21.3 on my last tank using 87 octane "tractor gas". As in no ethanol to kill mileage. Gained maybe 2 mpg but at 30 cents more a gallon I don't know if it will pay out. Going to give it a try for awhile. 5500 miles to date on my pickup.

 

I wish I could get ethanol free for 30c more. Reg E10 here is $2.249 and reg E0 is 2.999. I love ethanol free but $0.75 more doesn't make it worth it. Then if I want premium its $3.459 vs $2.649.

 

5500 miles with 128 engine hours is an average of about 43 mph over the lifetime of the truck. I'd say that's pretty good, lots of highway-type driving that's generally easy on the vehicle.

 

Must be nice, paying $4.45 for 87 here ins SoCal

 

I'm not sure but I think it counts as idle time if you are going 0 MPH and the engine is running AKA sitting at a stoplight.

 

7760 miles on my Lariat... 195 engine hours, 27 idle hours

 

My 2016 2.7 XLT 4x4 has 803 engine hours with 82 hours of idle time. I'm about to flip 29,900 miles. Lots of city driving here near Saint Paul, MN.

 

 

I think you replied to the wrong thread.

 

I got like 134 with like 22 idle, ide say around avg, I have about 5300km. I remote start a lot tho and have a super short 3km one way commute and never ever use start stop either lol
