Did you have a head-wind?

[mmmmtorque]

Not sure if they use "winter" fuels in Tx, if so that could explain it.

who is the culprit?

YOU.

I'ver never seen less than 11MPG . . . :dontknow:

A 1 MPG diff could be from a number of things, tire pressure, head winds, temperatures, driving habits, etc,etc,etc!!

Your gauge doesn't read tenths so it could be 9.8 MPG - 10.2 MPG:dontknow:

I wouldn't worry about it!!:burnout:

Does yours not read tenths? :dontknow:

Hell I don't remember, I don't use it all the time?

My point is that it's a miniscule change so why worry??

Actually I stand corrected, it does read tenths, sorry!!

But I still think it's so little it's not worth the worry!!

I am happy if after a tankful mine reads in the 10's!!!! My shoes are heavy and my truck is thirsty!!! LOL

Toss a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank...........could be dirty in there.

I didn't know if there was a difference in 04/05 vs. 06 displaying tenths. I know when the 06's get below 30 miles DTE (distance til empty) it reads "LOW FUEL" instead of displaying 29/28/27 etc. 04/05's will display all the way down to "0".

Only once did I let my tank get to where it read 6 miles to empty..........With 505 cubic inches.............that six miles might only last 3!!!! Couldnt imagine leaving the truck on the side of the road out of gas!!!!! I have never made that mistake again.

Tire pressure and oil change.....no kidding....

After a recent oil change and tire pressure check, I drove 70 mph for 2 hours in perfect conditions, 15mpg :rock: The longer I go after an oil change, the lesser the performance and MPG, I kid you not....I swear I can even feel the difference....

Amazing how it goes from 30 to 0 in about 5 miles though.

Gas is on the RIGHT, Jimi.

 

[AWDisuzu]

mine has sat at 0 for 40 miles. it's not very accurate =( and I'm getting between 13 and 16 mpg these days. it was around 10 mpg when I towed my old car up the grapevine a couple of weeks ago. that sucked.

Heh, trust me. I know.
