mpg issue?
mpg issue?
ok so this winter when I was idling a lot I figured that was why my mpg was around 8 or 10. Now its a little warmer so I dont let the truck idle in the mornings for more 4 or 5 minutes. After work I let it idle for 1 minute before driving. However my overhead which I reset at every refuel still is at 10 mpg which means its actually about 11.2 I use power service routinely. Is this typical for winter ULSD fuel or is there problems. Im thinking clogged fuel filter? soon as it gets in the balmy 40s here in a couple of weeks I'll be checking that.
Don't read the overhead, it lies !!!! Do a manual calculation, fill up, reset trip odometer, drive truck, refill and check how's your mpg.
3:55 auto at 8mpg/10mpg is very low, you should be getting 17/18mpg average
