When I bought the truck with 220K miles with no maintenance history, I received
barely 9 MPG in the city and 12.5-13 MPG highway
In the past few months I did the followings:
1) Denso Platinum TT plugs
2) Replaced four Chinese coil packs with OEM
3) New OEM fuel filter
4) Ran three cans of Gumout Multi-system cleanup (just saw Advance is selling it for $4.50)
5) Turned off OD in the city when the speed limit is 40 MPH or below
I did a fill up today and the followings are the readings. I fill all the way to the cap, wait and refill.
Miles driven: 221.4 (all without AC)
Gallons (regular): 20.18
City MPG: 10.96
Also, did highway at 79 MPH with AC on for 252 miles. It took about 17.5 gallons! MPG 14.4.
The only reason I am doing the MPG calculations is to make sure the truck is running at its maximum efficiency.
Brake pads OEM, fresh gear oil in all 3 diffs, drive shaft lubed, OEM air filter, 265 75 16 10 ply tires with 29 PSI in front and 32 PSI in the rear, fresh brake fluid and P/S fluid.
