9 mpg around town driving like "grandma". 6 mpg around town driving normal. Only 700 miles on truck, maybe it will get better when it's broke in. 15 - 16 on freeway.

Does your grandma wear those big old fold shoes with the 5 inch orthopedic heel on her driving foot???

No damn way you should be getting that low. Unless you absolutely floor it at every stop sign and red light.

I have about 6500 miles on my 2013 (I travel a lot so the miles come slow). I'm averaging 13 - 13.5 and it sits at 13.9 right now. When mostly city I'm 12.5 on average. Highway rolls between 14 and 15 normally. I'm usually cruising around 80 with cruise control. I will say that when I first got it I made a road tip to KC to see my daughter in school. From Denver to KC and back, with cruise control the whole way I got 12.5. It is definitely getting better but I expect I'm about topped out now.

9mpg driving like a grandma? 6 normally? You drive it like you stole it as a grandma then always hammer down normally?

This is from the drive from GA to MS. I was mainly going 70 whole way. There were stretches of the drive where the traffic was at a standstill. This is mostly highway, but there was a fair amount of city, light-to-light kind of driving. I was running 87 octane and the truck is completely stock.

Dam that's good mileage. I am getting 14 - 15 constantly, a combination of highway miles, Houston heavy afternoon commute, idle time and regular driving around town. After 3 tanks in a row mine is showing 14.4. , 3060 miles on the truck. That's pretty dam good for me considering how awesome this truck is. I am only getting 1mpg less that my old toyota tundra with the 4.7l v8. I am happy.
