I usually see between 15-18 in mine. I have the 31 gallon tank. What I find funny, is that my wife's 2015 Toyota Highlander with a v6 gets less miles per gallon than my 15 year old 7.3l sometimes. In town, her car only gets 13-15 mpg.

If her Highlander is only getting that kind of mileage something is deffinately wrong. I get 20 - 22 MPG in my 4-Runner on a regular basis, and it is an actual 4WD ( with all of the extra weight ) not the "full time" design of the Highlander

I just got 13.98MPG on a hand calculated tank, running empty, mixed use, with a decent amount of remote start idling. I am running 160/30's with a 38R lifted a little on 305's. CC 4x4 short bed. I run hard and a bit heavy footed.

My truck gets 17 flat everyday driving and on a trip if I drive it smart it will get just over 20. This is calculated by what I put in the tank, not guess work. The trick for great numbers is easy throttle and not getting over 2K RPM at cruise.
2002 CCSB 4x4, all stock with only 43K on the clock.

Old green constantly gets 15-18 average for the usual everyday putting around. Winter blend makes a difference.
On the highway, old green can get 18-20 keeping it @ 2k rpm.
The wife's 2015 explorer averages 17-19.

Yes, that is what I thought this morning when I read it. 43K miles too, very rare now.

I love it, it will last me the rest of my life.
This was my old 2000 V10 on 315s, it was nice too but I don't miss the gasser....since we're talking fuel mileage
