2023 5.0 / 3.73 / E40 fuel / OZ tuned 5w-40. With CD on. Averaging between 55 - 70 MPH.
First pic is strictly highways. Second is the return trip with 15 - 20% city. No mountains, no tailwind, metro Atlanta highway and hot temps. Pretty incredible. Best mileage to date.
Impressive. My 2023 5.0 3:73 super gets a solid 18 average no matter what. My commute is 62 miles each way, generally highway with occasional traffic but mostly cruising.
I will say I get my foot into it though, not leaning forward in the cab going for the coasting record…
Get the 5.0 in that 45-55 mph cruise speed on the highway, nice and level, that 4 cylinder mode kicks in and mpg is insanely good.
I personally find MPG drops below 55 MPH. Also, in the metro area people will run you over if you drive that slow in the highway. 60 - 65 seems to be the sweet spot in my testing. With the 3.73 rear 60 MPH is about 1300 rpms.
