My 00 V10 4x4 averaged 13.
My 05 V10 2X4 averages 13.5.
However, trucks were driven in completely different terrain (4x4 in MA, 2x4 in HI). There are highways in MA and is relatively flat by comparison to HI.

This took a little digging since I don't have the search functions anymore and it seems i remember a City Poll, but I couldn't find it.

I'm getting 14 in my 2005 4X4, about 25% city and 75% highway. I'm a big fan of cruise control.

Our 2001 4x2 V-10 gets 11-12 in local driving and 15-16 on the highway. If I bring the highway speed down just a little to about 60-65 with a light load I have actually brought it almost to 17 twice. I've tried hard to break 17 just one time but it's pretty difficult to do with something as aerodynamic as a house!

Just picked mine up in Tampa. Drove it home to KY. On the first leg, I put in mid-grade and got 14.27. Next leg high speed interstate (75 to 85), and got 13.5. Do you get better milage with premium or midgrade? Is it cost effective?

When I first got mine, I was getting 13.4 in the interstate - now I'm getting 15-17 (@ 65 MPH or about 2000 rpms).
I haven't seen any difference in 97/89/92 octane - but I haven't run the higher octanes for any length of time.
