[QUOTE="Supercup, post: 824977, member: 15302"] Tire pressures will effect mileage and ride quality so it is a trade off. Door jamb pressures on 2014 SCrew is 44 psi front and rear. Many folks run in the 35 - 38 psi range. I have 17,987 miles in my truck in 6.5 months, I commute about 650 miles per week. What I found to date is I have used 1,500.5 gallons, per the truck computer and averaged 11.99 mpg. I have seen a high of 14.2 (my wife was drove 1 tank of fuel on a trip about 70 mph) and a low of 9.1 (a day of offroading in Barstow). I get between 11.4 and 12.2 on my weekly commute - depending on traffic and how hard I drive. I am able to drive around traffic times most of the time and drive early and at 80 - 90 mph. If I drop to 70 mph I see a considerable increase in mileage. If you go with 44 psi front and rear, are light on the throttle and drive 70 or less you will likely get pretty good mileage. I even decided to try it one day, but only got halfway to the office and I was going 90 again. Thank goodness for the lowered gas prices. Trial and error will get you the best results for your needs - good luck! [/QUOTE]
