21.5 going down to SoCal to visit my sister.
And you know how fast they drive down there.
But once I started up the Grape Vine all gains were sort of eaten up.
But the over all trip MPGs were good.

I hit mid 18s on a trip to San Diego to pick up our Rhino down there (that includes the grapevine). I kept it around 70 most of the time. Trip back home with Rhino in back (it had a covered roof and sticks up over cab), still got 15 doing 70 again. That was an all freeway trip though...
I rarely pay attention to mileage anymore -- too much other data to watch!

The big trick is not doing a lot of speed changes if you want the best MPGs you can get.

I see bragging camp is going well.
Put a ton in the bed and let me know how you do.
. If I hit 12 I'm happy.

This one time at bragging Camp....
My rep gun is empty. I think any 6.0L does fine compared to other engines in the age range. Tires, weight, pavement, grade change and driving styles make it a variable prediction on Fuel. Our engines do not go through regen....

I don't mean to brag but sometimes I can get as high as 6.5 mpg. Of course it depends on how deep and heavy the snow that I'm plowing is. Doesn't help that I have a 9'-6" wide 1000 lb barn door on the front of the truck or the 1200 lbs of sand bags in the back.
