Couldn't believe it today. I filled for a trip yesterday and drove home. When I pulled out of the drive it said 13mpg. It was early morning, 6am, and I was headed for Portland. When I stopped at a light just before I hit the freeway (103 miles) I looked down and it read 18.1mpg!! I went a block to the next light which took me onto the freeway and it was18.0 and by then I had my camera and snapped a blurry photo.

The first hundred was on 2 lane road at about 55-60 mph and several small towns. I haven't looked but I was nearing 600 miles today and final mileage was 16.2 when I hit town. Freeway driving was 65-70. The one thing that did hurt mileage was a freeway wreck which was stop and go for 10 miles and an hour.

I think the truck will get 17++ if I used the speed control and keep it at 60 and out of towns.

Are you using stock tires/wheels? Just curious.

Is that a stock setup ? better make sure a neighbor isn't tapping you at night.
I do believe that is the worst reported so far hope you are gunning it regularly.

The truck is nearly stock. No engine or drive train mods. It has 8000 miles on it, 2012 scab.
