[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1402708, member: 31322"] I work from home in MA w/ my main office being 330 miles away in NJ - I also do long road trips visiting accounts every 3-6 weeks on average, so long highway stretches account for a good chunk of my mileage, but the other part of my driving is strictly around town local hwy & getting on it regularly. So its a pretty eclectic mix of driving, and I average 15.5 Thing is, I think this truck is very frugal around town actually especially taking the power/gearing/tires into equation - it doesn't drop off a cliff like a typical lifted V8 1/2 tons running 35"s & 4.10s would normally. I think I could probably get alot closer to a 17ish average, except I can't seem to keep the highway cruising speed below 73ish - seems for me the second I start driving @ like 75-80 on cruise I lose 1.5-2.5 mpg, like the MPG hit from aero on hwy from a % standpoint is worse than the weight/gearing/tires/power around town. Not sure if anyone else notices this, but its remarkable how much a few extra mph @ highway speed can drop the MPGs down so hard. [/QUOTE]
