Snowstorm?

 

No, my truck actually gets used for work, not ego boosting...
Believe it or not it was fully detailed on Monday

 

I can appreciate that. And that's some nice mileage you're getting there.

 

30.0 mpgs coming down from Pikes peak! Trip average was 18.9 after that for another 80 miles back to Denver, not bad.

 

LOL the only way you're going to get 30mpg out of a Tundra is to push it out of an airplane at 30,000 ft.

 

U get 30mpg when u r in cruising speed and u let go of the gas..but the first day I got my cold air intake lines getting 25mpg I was never able to replicate that..and that sucks

 

This happened due to being locked down in 1st and 2nd(35 to 45 mph tops), no brakes mostly, and no gas pedal what so ever. Rolling down the mountain with the engine running at idle speed, for 17 miles. I bet this will happen again. It seems business will be taking back to pikes peak often!

 

Great pic

 

I want to see the numbers once at the top.

 

I stopped a few times going up and did not check the numbers the entire way, but I do remember the steepest 4 mile stretch going up was 8.7 mpg! Maybe 100 pounds in the bed, tops. That made the 30 mpg coming down really needed to balance the trip total MPG. Which was about 18.9, for about 200 miles or so round trip. I started using 91 octane premium lately, and I seem to get about 1 or 2 miles per gallon more than with the 85 octane sold around here, so I feel that helped. Speeds going down and back to Colorado Springs from Denver were anywhere from 45 to 75 mph for most of it. Overall, I am pleased.

 

If you put my tundra on a trailer and hauled it down the road it wouldn't get that kind of mileage

 

I did not do an average for just that part unfortunately, just the whole trip, with the money shot being the part from Catamount reservoirs to the I-25.

 

This is exactly what I was going to ask sarcastically if you were driving down Pikes Peak!

 

That is Catamount reservoir, the south one! Was a blizzard 2 hours before that...
