39.9 City(Actual at the pump) and 27.8MPG Highway 59MPH with CC is my best
Almost 40MPG out of it in the city (at 41MPH with cruse control 0% grade)
0MPH wind...
65MPG  @ 70-75mph(v4 Mode Cruse control OFF) tailgating a 18wheeler with a trailer-tail.. the ones with out the trailer tail offer zero benefit. even a loss of mpg slightly about 1-2mpg (at 25-26mpg)....
so 40MPG/27.8MPG is possible under "hypermiling"..
40MPG MY City/65MPG HYW under SUPER hypermiling
it's running highway gears 3.08 RWD |
Whoopee. I’ll hit 99+ on downgrades. About as significant a claim. Out on the Plains with a steady tailwind my four ton Dodge gets above 30-mpg. For hundreds of miles. Is it a valid claim? It’s the fuel pump receipt versus miles that matters. 27-mpg is more likely.
Per Trip Average Speed versus Engine Hours is the equation to understand. You don’t.
A Tahoe is a fairly useless trucklet. No bed and no significant storage space or payload capacity that can be used by solo driver. Thus, a Mommy Van. Softball Daddy-mobile. No practicality.
The small Ford Transit van whups it in every practical way.
