On the highway, I'll get 17 running 65 mph. Just because they're not an econo-car doesn't mean we can't try to get the best mileage possible.
I dont have a very soft foot is my problem I think. No I am at 10.3 for this tank. I know not very good but not why I bought the truck. If I do a road trip I can get in it 16 range but I have to watch myself. Have never got very good mileage andf owned the truck since new. It is what it is. I live on a decent hill and pull that everyday so I guess that doesnt help either.
