Easy there, I will happily take that MPG to drive such a truck- as I said in another thread, I have an'08 Accord and still would rather drive the truck-lol

come winter though it can drop down as low as 7mpg lol winter gas, 4x4 all the time, idle time, 300lbs in the back i guess that crap does make a impact on the MPGs haha

I wasn't trying to upset anyone.....We all want our cake and eat it to....meaning HP, tires, lifts and MPG....Since I got my Edge programmer Im very impressed with what this beast gets...I agree with Donald Trump...we need to borrow a couple oil fields in Iraq and pump 18 trillion dollars worth of crude to pay for the war and then give it back them...of course with all the corrupt politicians we have we still would be paying top dollar....the day comes when I cant afford to drive my Expo...I will put in the park it out front and use it for lawn art...

Completely stock, stock tire size with 140k on the clock I can get 21 mpg on the highway with cruise set to @68 mph. That's with a really leaky passenger manifold and exhaust. Boy to I get passed a lot doing the posted speed limit though lol (for the other Canadian fellas on here, 110kph, 228k on the clock, best of 11.3 liters/100km)

We have nice big open highways here in AB.

In the city, 12-15 mpg.

I use the factory mpg tracker, also have a scangauge 2 connected up. They're about a mpg or so in difference.

That's a 5.4 liter, 3.55 gears.

9 to 10 on the highway. With the 7000lb travel trailer.

I got 19 going from Rochester to Schenectady last February and got just under 20 going out and about 16 coming home. Tailwind going out headwind coming home. I get 13-15 mpg normal running around.

I didn't get it for good mileage. I got it to carry me, my wife, 2 kids and an Old English Sheepdog. Hook up a 30' travel trailer and go anywhere I want.
