I get between 8 and 16 mpg, depending on if winter blend and short/long trips. 37 inch tires 3.73 ratio.

I average between 13-15 mpg. Although everybodies terms of city driving are different. I get this around town. The town has a population of 13,000 people.

I can get 19 average on the Highway with 305's and 3:73's as long as I keep my foot out of it, under 70 (last trip, travelled 346 miles on 15.2 gallons, filled to neck). Put that foot in it (80+) and it will drop down to 10 to 11. I know that sucks, just cannot resist hearing that turbo spool up and that stroker run. I have not been able to figure out what my stroker gets in the city, but it is one big hog.

Bone stock worst- nothing but 2-4 mile trips in town 14 mpg, best 19.1- 500 miles at 55-65 mph with 5- 5 mile trips to work and back. All on summer blend fuel.

My '03 gets 13-15mpg on B100 during the summer, 4" lift on 35" Pro-Comp X-Terrains with all the mods below. I have seen 18-20mpg (pre lift, with my shell, Vail to Las Vegas and back, on 295's with two humans and 200 lbs of luggage for a GVW of 8K.) I believe that the 2K RPM threshold is the key to good(or bad) mileage. Keep it below 2K RPM and minimize full throttle starts, that is the key I think. Each truck is different, that's the general opinion.
