Thanks, that is what I was wondering. The numbers seem to be all over the place when people talk about mileage. So I wanted to know what the rpm range might be and I am suprised to see such uniform numbers.

Mileage??? What's that?
4.88's with 225/70 r 19.5 = 55 MPH at 2000 RPM.

I drive at 2400 and 68.

68 @ 2000. Not happy about it either. I have taller 285s and my speedo is dead on, verified by radar??? The speed limit on the interstates here is 70. You just know that my mpg goes right in the crapper as soon as I go out there. Can't stand those old people with welding glasses passing me.

Do what I do. Cut them off before they get by. With those slow reflexes, they're as good as in the median...

I had mine up to the mid 90's a few times. I don't do it enough to figure the RPM's. With 8500 pounds of truck and a state that's only 50 miles wide, there's not much oppurtunity. Not to mention the NJ State Police are always up for a good chase.
