11 MPG in imperial gallons. Not good

My first checked mileage at 520.4 miles combined city/highway revealed 25.78mpg. This with V6 DOHC, 4-spd auto, 16" BF Goodrich tires, and "normal" driving which includes 65-75mph highway speeds.

Average 15.5 per gal city/highway mixed.

Average 16 mpg mixed driving. She's a bit of a drinker. (92 Oct is her fuel of choice, thanks Opec!!)

I get about a month's riding from each can of chain lube. Hmmmmm, scratch my head... carry the one... that's 360 miles per 10 ounces, or 4608 miles per gallon? Yahoo! Do I win?? Seriously, all my commuting happens on my mtn bike. When I do use the truck it's for hard playing, and then I get about 12mpg. '96 Land Rover Discovery, 52k miles. Regards, -Bob
#63 of 1070 '00 Isuzu Trooper 3.5L TOD (Automatic) by arktrooper1 Dec 06, 2000 (10:58 pm)
4500 miles on the truck and I get 14 city / 16.5 highway. Deduct 1 mpg from each of those figures when the automatic 4WD Hi (TOD) is engaged. Seems like a lot of people are complaining about their mileage on here, but I honestly don't know what they expected. Let's see...take a heavy, elevated station wagon with the aerodynamics of a brick wall and drive all four wheels, get lousy mileage...what a surprise!!! I came from years of driving 4cyl 2wd trucks and this is about what I expected. Love my Trooper!
#64 of 1070 Any feedback for cav98fla? Copy/pasted: by pocahontas Dec 08, 2000 (2:44 am)
0 of 1: Mileage advice needed (cav98fla) Thu 07 Dec '00 (12:40 PM) From all you long-term SUV owners out there, as I research a possible purchase of my own, I'm in need of some valuable advice on: what's the best way to boost the gas mileage on most any SUV and which make/models have the best miles/gallon ratings now?
#65 of 1070 Hi Cav98fla- To help answer part of your question, by pocahontas Dec 08, 2000 (2:52 am)
here's a list of epa ratings from Auto.com on 2000 makes/models. The top two links are for sport utility vehicles. Also, check out Edmund's new truck guide; they list the epa ratings individually, for each suv, in their new truck section. Good luck. Pocahontas, Edmunds.com/Roving Host
#66 of 1070 01 JGC laredo 4x4/v8 - 96 dodge ram 4x4 5.9l/v8 by redjeeper Dec 09, 2000 (1:57 am)
for comparison: 96 dodge ram pickup 4x4 w/ 360v8 engine- 12.5mpg in the city, 15.5 hwy- rated epa for 12city/16hwy. 01 GCL 4x4 v8 with only 300 miles on it (should improve as engine breaks-in), computer says I am averaging right at 14mpg- mostly city driving. This is epa rated for 15city/20 hwy- we shall see.
