GAS SAVING METHOD ON NEW 27

[jcebal6843]

I tested the snow mode theory for about a month, then switched back to auto. It gained me maybe 1 MPG, so it didn't help much. I live in the Los Angeles area and spend most of my time in traffic, so it doesn't matter to me whether I'm in auto, sport, or snow mode.
About a year ago, I drove to Arizona for the weekend, cruising at 70 to 90 mph on open road. The best I got in snow mode was 13.5 MPG, compared to my daily average of 11.2. I think it depends on where you live and how much traffic you deal with, from open road to congestion. For normal daily driving, the savings aren't much.
I recently moved up to 37s, and even with the bigger tires, my mileage didn't change. My advice, enjoy the truck when you can.

Thank youm, I appreciate the honest feed back. I am going to add 37's to mine so this is really helpful.

I’m not sure OP has a trx yet. Thought was still waiting on an allocation, so it’s not a question of “better” mpg in a TRX, it’s having any MPG in a trx and if you go by that logic, 10MPG when they take delivery is 10 better than they are currently getting, it’s science

OP have you picked one up yet???

I finally got my allocation, order submitted, and vin.

Looking to receive it late December/ early January.

This is my first big purchase/nice thing i've done for myself so i'm super excited and just don't want to mess anything up by being curious and messing with the thing.

Snow mode? The 4WD Low button is better for saving fuel

This is from yesterday on a 65 mile trip back from the property S/W of Fort Worth last week. Am happy with this. In the city with some highway getting between 14.5 and 14.9. Mode is set to auto.

This is sick, is this in snow mode? Or just regular driving?

Nice man, I do mostly high way driving so i'm not too concerned but i think we would probably be around the same.

Auto Mode. I have gotten as much as 17 when driving 65 using the cruise control on I20 here west of Fort Worth. I also run 35x12.50-18 Goodyear Duratrac RT tires at 70psi which is 10 under psi max of 80 psi.

The GPS shows the speedometer to be spot on.

Airing down creates better fuel mileage? I should just run them flat, so I can get 27mpg .

I took my tires completely off and got infinite mpg.. literally not a dollar spent on gas.

You don't ever have fun, do you?

Oh yes, it has been a lot worse but on the highway on cruise control it is not that hard. Maybe the Amsoil SS oil has something to do with it, I have no idea.

Still the bike in my Avatar got 11 when being easy and 6 to 7 when twisting the throttle. Not bad really bad for a 540ci Scott Shafiroff race motor.

Running in snow mode definitely won’t “hurt” the truck.

Run the correct tire pressure, change with quality fluids and just enjoy it!!

It’s not about miles per gallon, it’s smiles per gallon.

Yeah im not sure what saving gas means....i just bury the throttle and it makes me smile!

TRX & "Gas saving" don't go together

Clown thread. Shut it down.

I've got almost 100k on my 22 and the best "avg" I ever got was 14.x....And that's all highway at 75 to 80mph. The only way I can see getting better than 15 is if I load it up on a flat bed car hauler.
