Please choose the response that best fits your truck

Try to be accurate, highway MPG not the best single 55mph run you got but a real average please.

i have gotten 18mpg for a couple of tanks on vacation,but I averaged my whole 3000 mile trip last night and come up with 16.2 mpg....I am curious to find out what kind of mods some of the guys getting better MPGs have done...Exhaust, BBtunes etc....

When driving to work and back I do not bother with checking the MPG ,I let the A/C run for anywhere from 10minutes to 20 minutes every afternoon because it is hot as heck here in OK.we have been over 100 degrees for something like 43 days consecutive It is worth the couple bucks a day to ride home in a cool and comfy truck.

I don't do much highway driving, so I get something like 10-12 around town. I do drive mine pretty hard, so that has a little bit to do with it.

i get 15.39 mpg consistently. I tried a few things (amsoil oil, amsoil air filter, took off air box lid, put it back on, change spark plugs, seafoamed it, used premium fuel) to help but nothing will give me an increase.

anybody have any suggestions to help with MPG ?
