Depends, DRW or SRW? What do you have in the pumpkin? How fast do you drive? These mpg threads are like the oil or EGR delete threads....

They're not required to disclose the fuel mileage numbers for these trucks. I beleive Cheezit was cracking a funny on us.

All these ambiguous mileage statements. I was getting 18 or 20 mpg. Is that hiway, city, towing, falling off a cliff or what? I can say I'm getting a certain mpg. If I don't state the circumstances and speeds it means squat. Just trying to compare apples to apples and not apples to rocks going over a cliff. Sorry for the rant but not one of the mileage claims as stated meant squat.
