To the OP: You will get horrible "gas" mileage because you will be calculating "fuel" mileage.

44 gallon tank

YMMV City 12-14, Hwy 16-20

I don't think you can run gas in a diesel... you could always try and hope for the best though

Stock my 6.0 averaged 14mpg city maintaining 45-50 mph, 16 mpg combined, and 18 mpg all highway maintaining 65-70mph.

Gearhead tuned, it averaged 15-16 mpg city, 17-18 mpg combined, and 19-20 mpg freeway. This is with an EGR delete, a 4 inch exhaust, and no other mods.

What tune are you running from Gearhead? I just bought an SCT and I am looking for tune reports. Also are you running stock size tires/lift?
