SC88Pathy Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 (edited) I'll start it out. I'v got an 88 V6 and currently I'm averaging 16-17 MPG. Highest MPG yet is 18, and lowest was 15 last fill up. That 15 was probably because it was raining and I love to floor it in the rain. Spin those tires! -bounce- Of course I drive with a lead foot regardless of the weather. sly Edited April 26, 2005 by SC88Pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC88Pathy Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Oh yeah I should add that my driving is mostly freeway and windy mountain roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 My 87 has been averaging about 13.7, and that was mostly distance driving to 4x4 areas. I haven't ran the codes yet but I'm pretty sure I need a new O2 sensor and a few other little goodies. But with 270,000 on the clock, I'm not sure if I can complain :-) With my VW being down I've been driving the Pathy around town, and now with little more than 1/4 tank left I have about 185 miles on the tank. Not looking to pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 i don't know exactly but finally get more then 200mi from the tank.. maybe close to 250... last summer could barely get to 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Last summer I figure it out at about 16 MPG on my 99.5 Which was what they averaged for my truck.... thats City & highway driving everyday. I was getting close to 500 km a tank (I think, this is going by memory - something I'm not good at) Over the winter that went down hill, about 400 km per tank, and just as it was warming up & getting better I went and modded the hell out of it, and I'm stuck at 400 km a tank again.

RowOSU Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 16-17. Everytime. Doesnt matter city, highway, 4x4, stuff on the roof, always 16-17. Rather depressing I can't do anything to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 (edited) As my truck is used in my business, I have to keep pretty good records for the tax man (and to make sure I charge my clients enough!). So here are my averages from Dec 2004 when I bough the truck (they have been converted to US gallons, Canadian gallons are bigger, as are all things Canadian ): Bush: 14-16 (AUTO and 4wd mix) Town: 16-19 (2wd) Highway: 19-23 (2wd and AUTO mix) I have noted that keeping it in 2wd rather than AUTO helps by about 10% on the highway. The lowest I have got is 12 MPG, this in the woods at -36 Celsius, it idled a lot that day! Best is 25, highway at 90-100 km/hr 2wd. Oh, the Sienna gets mid 30's on the highway, so we use it a lot for longer travels. Edited April 26, 2005 by Trainman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M in KC Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 '91 SE V6, MT, 31x10.5x15. I consistently get 18-20 with mixed driving. Very little offroad. This is my daily driver. I just rolled 145K on the clock. When I tow my boat (20' fiber. I/O bowrider) I see about 15. Oh and 88 I love to rrrrrroast the tires in the rain as well. Hey somebody had to use the break dancin' stick boy. And yes he/she dances better two dimensionally than I do three dimensionally. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Around 16, but my drive to work and school is less than 3 miles so a tank lasts awile. When i get those 33's though its prolly gonna be about 12.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repack Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 15 city, 18 highway if I am careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 15 city, 18 on the highway if I keep my foot out of it... Thats a 95xe with JGC lift, 31" tires and cat back magnaflow exhaust with 112K miles. I yearn for the 20 mpg days of my old truck, but I know thats more mental then not...

big_johnson Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 18-19 mixed driving on my 97 SE with 30x10.5's, manual hubs, intake and exhaust. Somehow it stays around 18, no lower than 17, no matter if I take it easy on the skinny pedal or get heavy with the right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 31's and about 15 around town, 19 or so on the highway. Not too shabby really, especially considering some of the other SUV pigs out the. FU-H2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 THe thing that irks me is my dads 97 2 door Tahoe gets about 17-22 depending on where hes driving. He has some light mods like a jacobs ignition, k&n filter and a larger exhaust. The engine is a Vortech 5.7 350 Meanwhile My poor sixbanger is giving me a consistent 13.7. Motor swap time!

jj big shoe Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Let's see what mileage he's getting in 2015 when it's your Pathy's age, if it even makes it to 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I drive 40 miles to work and 40 miles back....all freeway, in the hills and mountains of SoCal and I get 14.9 - 15.4 every tank. I'm a lead foot who hasn't figured out that my 97 isn't going to hold 90 on a 15% up grade for 2 miles....But I try anyway....leaving the tach at 5,000 for almost 1/2 the drive.....This truck has been great! Oh BTW thats with a 2" AC lift and 31" BFG AT's and No rear bumper....less wind resistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
