10000 miles between oil changes MPG

Recommended Posts

I didn't make it all the they way to 10k but it was just convienent to have it done while she was in the shop for the seat back recall.

I don't think the additional 500 miles would have changed much on the result which I'm very happy with. This interval includes our trip to Florida and few Wisconsin road trips.

As a comparison we just drove a 30ft RV based on a Ford E-350 V10 platform to SD and back.

 

1900 miles @ 240 gallons = 7.8 MPG

 

Up to this trip I had no idea that gas pumps stop at a fixed dollar value. Anything between $95 and $125 was the max we received from the pump.

Doing better than I am, that's for sure (wife actually, she kills it sometimes). Although today with the rain and dumb drivers(Stay home if you cant drive in rain), I managed 39 MPG and an 82 brake score. Yesterday, 49 to work, 48 to home. When I had the F150 I got into the habit of filling at half tank because of the pump limits. Man I do not miss those days!

Well another 10000 miles down. This one includes all winter driving and another road trip to Atlanta. I forgot that it rolled over at 10k.

43 MPG right on the money.

Makes me happy and I'm still amazed about some peoples lifetime MPG.

Looking real good!

 

As you mentioned, winter driving and road trips can really bring the lifetime MPGs down on FFHs. I may never experience either in my FFH, since we usually take my wife's Enclave on road trips.

Here is the real data print out for the approximate same time frame. As noted by many others the car computer over reports be about 2.5 MPG.

10k miles for $600 is pretty cool.

 

We are going to have a comparison soon when we take the Explorer on a road trip.

Check your odometer accuracy over a measured distance or with a GPS separate from the car navigation. Some have reported it 2-3% low which would reduce the high mpg readings. The net is only about 1 mpg.
