This mpg is WAY lower than the masses.

You truly have no ******* clue as to what you're talking about.

Tell ya what, jump in your Gen 2 and set the cruse control at 85 and let us know how the mileage is. Oh never mind you dont ****** have one

I'm still not seeing over 12.5 mpg (calculated, not dash), ever. Again, not that I care one iota from a $$ standpoint, but the engineer in me is still telling me something's gotta be off - that's 12.5 mpg, babying it, not putting my foot in it. With no codes, the dealer response will be "they all do that" - and maybe they do - but some of the "better" numbers I see here - and via a buddy's in the 16's and 17's still make me go "hmmmmmmmmmm."

I agree with you. Average for mixed driving should be 15/16 when using 2H and Normal, assuming a stock truck. City mileage sucks and will drag you down if that is what you are mostly doing.

Agree - something is not right. If you had a larger tire diameter from stock and didn’t adjust computer, I could understand.
