World record MPG??

I did 1,300 miles last 14 days. This last tank I did 377 miles and put in 14.5 gal, = 26 MPG!! This was a lot of fwy, but also city driving, LA stop and go fwy, and some back road cruising...

I carefully filled it last 2 times to get an accurate reading... this mileage is simply amazing for a full size truck!!

In summary, I love the 6.0L diesel (4x2, crew cab, 5spd auto trans, 3.73 ltd slip rear).

I have had absolutely NO problems with this vehicle... thank you for your continued prayers , as I was in death valley out of phone range and miles from civilization, but trusted this truck would bring me home!

2 wheel drive and SRW with no load. That's a bunch but also believable. Great news. I'm always at 18.4 when driving empty to and from work (combined frwy and city with stop and go on frwy for 1/2 the trip)
