Have you manually calculated your mileage? I did a 2,000-mile road trip, and the computer told me about 22mpg. When I calculated on my own, it was closer to 20mpg.

Generally, the computer seems to be about 2mpg high for me.

Also, when I'm just driving around town and to work, I'm averaging closer to 14 or 15 mpg. yuck.

I did not know that - will do a manual check with my next feul top off.. Thanks for the tip though!!

Appreciated...

Anyone who complains about mileage in a full-size truck nowadays is smoking crack.

It is until you open up that Hemi. Had my EVIC on the fuel economy screen on my way to work this morning. Cruising it was holding around 22 mpg. When I put the hammer down to pass someone I watched it drop to 4 mpg. The grin on my face however was priceless.

another thing if I may, what gear are you running?

 

[jcat]

yeah I'd like to see your average speed over the period this was calculated on.

Is that really an outdoorsman? Looks like an express with chrome clads.

This, the outdoorsman comes with the upgraded evic and fender flares. It also does not come with chromed wheels.

I have a feeling that when he does the math, he going to be a bit disappointed.

When I was on a road trip in VA I averaged over 25 on the screen, when I checked it manually it was right up against 24. That's the best I have had. I average over 20 for the first 6000 miles though. it makes me happy that a truck with this much power can get this kind of gas mileage.

Last time I checked my EVIC was out by 1litre/100km. I haven't filled up to check after this last run but even so it would be 10.5L/100 or 22.5 mpg.
This trip was through the rolling country side. Nothing to hilly but not a flat run. Set the cruise at 95km when I could
Only mods are catch can and 14" magnaflow. Exhaust seems to be making a difference since opening it up. Will know for sure when I refill

Not disputing anyones amazing gas milage in a full size pickup (congrats on that btw ), but in my experience, the EVIC is never true to gas milage. Its almost consistently higher than actual. (again, just my experience) Its not way, way off, but enough to be wrong. I would say thats crazy talk if I hadn't experienced it myself. But then I also think about manufacturers and the bulk of consumers who would be much more prone to buy (or buy again) a vehicle that gets more MPG than something that doesn't. And since most people simply read the EVIC...
20 reads a lot better than 17. And when someone asks ''What kinda milage are you getting?'', they can then respond with ''Man, you won't believe it, but I'm getting 28 miles to the gallon in this 4x4 quad cab extended bed full size truck with a camper shell. I was getting 35 till I jacked it up and put giant knobby tires on it.''
Its probably just my truck though. I think my EVIC went from reading the MPG to just displaying LOL after I finished with all my mods. And when i hit wide open throttle, the NAV automatically reroutes me to the nearest gas station.
But seriously, for those of you getting the great MPG, way to go!
