05 Eddie Bauer 4X4 MPG

[Notrega]

151k miles on it and getting 16.7 MPG on the interstate doing 77.

Is this ok? Good? Poor?

 

[boobie33]

Sounds good to me. That's about what I'm getting

 

[DetroitDarin]

about the same for me, too

Information Center says anywhere from 20 down to 16 depending on hills.
We know how accurate that is. Finally settles down to an average of about
what you're getting, so sounds about right.

I'm in the same range maybe a little bit lower on the highway on a long trip (500 + miles).

I'm at about 162k miles on my '03, and according to my fuelly.com entries I'm doing good if I can get 15 mpg on the expressway. And that's keeping it at about 73-75 mph (just a hair over 2000 rpm).

However, allowing for speedo error (if my calculations are correct), that would translate to about 15.75 mpg on a good day.

City driving? Yuk. 9 mpg if I'm lucky!

Okay, that's what I want to do. I'm more concerned with mileage than extra HP. What did you use to get where you are in mileage. What brand names and model numbers if you have them.

Thanks!
