How many miles?

If you use your TV as daily driver, how many miles do you drive per week and what is your unloaded mpg?

Average around 60 miles a week. Get 15 mpg around town and 21 mpg on freeways at 70 mph.

I do four 12 mile trips daily and ave 17mpg. On longer trips driving 62-64 mph I'll get 22-23 mpg. Towing my 5er it's around 11-12 mpg. It seems that the short trips before the engine warms up is the fuel sucker.

That's about what I drive, I'm around 400 or so. I had an 08 silverado that was killing me.

At one time I was driving 1000/week in an F150 crew cab.

I hate throwing money out the tailpipe... I wish I could afford a dedicated TV.

At one point I was doing 3k miles a month in a 2006 Nissan Titan @ 15 MPG, that lasted about 18 months and I sold the truck

When I am in town (I have to travel out of State for work) I drive about 280 miles per week. The new truck gets ~16.4 daily driving with 40/60 in town/highway. On the highway it will do 18-19 if I an keep it at 70. Over 70 and the mileage starts dropping fast...
