Roadrash,

I'm consistently getting 15mpg if I'm driving 50/50 highway/City and 16.5 if I'm 100% on the highway at 70-75mph.  I now have 3000 miles on my truck.  I purchased the replacement K&N filter and I believe my mileage stayed roughly the same, if not decreased slightly (which I don't understand).  I've now ordered the K&N FilterCharger to see if it helps.  I should receive it early next week in the mail, so I'll keep you posted on the results.  As a sidenote, the mileage your currently seeing seems about right, so I don't think there's anything wrong with your truck.  Maybe it was just a bit tighter than most during break-in.  I'll let you know about the filtercharger.

Pay for gas or pay for a prematurely worn engine due to larger particles of dirt getting past the K&N?

I'll pay for the gas.

I have around 900 miles and I have been getting no better than 11 miles to the gallon.

I now have 3043 miles on the 4x2 SE Big Tow Titan. I have kept records on my truck with every fill up and I am still averaging right around 14 mpg at every fill up. I drive mostly around town type of driving. I have also towed about an 8200 pound camper with little affect to my overall mileage. I hope when I drive about 350 miles to the beach at the end of May with the camper in tow I remain as pleased with the towing mileage.

Hi.  New here.  Just wondering aren't you supose to run 91 octane in the Titan.  That is what my book says.  It states the engine will knock on anything less.  Some one please confirm.

 I'm Ok with the mileage on my 4x2 Titan King Cab with the Tow package, it was 15.1mpg easyfooting it in my 15 mile commute right for fist tank, dropped to 14.5 when I found out how neat it sounded winding through the 5 speed up to 70 or so.  Recent road trip of 800 miles produced 17.5 with a tailwind and right at 17 returning with a headwind, AC on about 90% of the trip. Total mileage is now 1300.

However, I had hoped for better based on my 95 Chevy 1/2 ton extended cab with 350 V8.  It consistently got 16 commute and 19 highway.   (But then, it wasn't nearly as much fun as the Titan!) 

K&N and Banks Monster exhaust are on the way. 

Anything less than 12-13 should  mean see your dealer.

I'm on my 6th tank or so since the K&N filtercharger was installed.  Over the weekend, I got the best mileage I've seen yet on the highway @ 17.5 MPG.  I was running between 70-80 MPH with the air conditioner on most of the time.  I have a 2WD crew cab with tow and offroad.
