Mine is a 16 3.5L eco, and average around 12 L/100km.... thats around 19 - 20 mph combined city/hwy. I should point out that I rarely ever speed beyond 105 kph and majority is hwy with very little city as I live close to a hwy. Pic says the rest. My head will explode from seeing such numbers as truck is still new. My hemi 5.7 ram barely got 15 mpg with same conditions. I will be doing more accurate test using full tank, drive 100 km, fill again and calculate, for me to believe it.
This thread is about ultimate fuel milage.
I'm talking to everybody.
People buy trucks and worry about fuel milage.
Then some put wider tires on. Creating more wind v resistance.
You heard me say nothing about wheel height..
Different model trucks come with different height tires..17", 18" and 20".
All a 20" tire does is cost more. And they git a little longer tire life.
Still looking for what to expect if I buy this truck. Constructive answers would be best.
my apologies, I should add that my numbers are based on 22" oem wheels... not sure how much that will differ with 20" wheels that you are looking to get. Hope that helps.
OK my truck (see sig) weighs about 6,000 lb empty and on the highway gets near 20 mpg at 65. At 75 more like 17. Gets about 16-17 around town. I tow very little so don't have an good idea of towing mpg. It would depend highly on what you are towing and how fast. I live in the DFW area so near sea level and pretty flat. I have the 3.73 LSD.
When anybody is talking about fuel milage on vehicles.
Has anybody looked at rolling resistance on tires..less rolling resistance helps fuel milage to a small extent.
