cruise control helps ALOT as wellNmexMAX wrote:Dang!!doctahjones wrote:totally forgot to report this earlier....
drove from ~denver to glenwood springs. got 18.7 there, and 17.1 back. was doing anywhere between 65-80mph (75mph speed limit in some areas).
I think I need a BullDog tuner like NOW!
I never even saw that when stock.
I've noticed huge swings in mpg from wind. PF is NOT aerodynamic. I've driven into bad headwinds and averaged 18mpg, turn around and drive back with a tail wind and hit 23mpg. These were 200+ mile trips at 75ish. The tail doesn't help anywhere near as much as it harms....I'm normally in the 22mpg range for long highway.ReynMan83 wrote:lots of wind, mostly crosswind. ethanolated gas and shitty drivers equated to barely 19 mpg from frankfort, ky to saint louis. meh. all highway between 70 and 75 mph, flatland.
I use CC on all my cars, everywhere, in town, just down the street, to the store, and of course on the highway all day everyday.doctahjones wrote:cruise control helps ALOT as wellNmexMAX wrote:Dang!!doctahjones wrote:totally forgot to report this earlier....

350 to 370 miles on a tank is exceptional for the Pathfinder (R51). For that reason I am somewhat skeptical of such figures. The best I've done is 337 on a tank (~18.5 gal consumed) and that was nearly all highway with minimal highway traffic congestion.FLpathFinder wrote:When I first purchased my PF, I was getting between 350-370 miles a tank. Then I took a 1200 mile round trip to Pensacola, all highway. Now for some reason, my truck is reading low fuel at around 300 miles a tank. Anyone have any idea what can attribute to this?
Have you noticed any difference in fuel economy or power moving up to Denver?doctahjones wrote:cruise control helps ALOT as wellNmexMAX wrote:Dang!!doctahjones wrote:totally forgot to report this earlier....

Compared to sea level you're losing about 30% power. My car dynos ~30% less whp uncorrcted vs SAE.

went up to estes park and through rocky mountain national park.
i filled up in lyons (because wife had to use the restroom), and by the time we hit the peak of trail ridge road i was around 10.5mpg according to the compooter.
we came back through granby and winter park to catch i70 back to denver. i ended up showing 16.7mpg on the display.
trip was about 180mi i think? (will double check trip meter)
these figures are without the 6.8% adjustment for larger tire size, so with that the figures are 11.2mpg/17.8mpg/192mi
which is about right on. i've found that the display is usually about 1-2mpg off when i calculate by hand (adj miles/gallons) after using a full tank.
