10.4 mpg mixed city and highway, gotta love san diego, I have a 3" lift and 33" procomp all-terrain extremes, I am sure they don't help. I had the truck brought down from long beach, the computer said 21 mpg, that was cruise set at 65 95% freeway.

13.4 in suburban driving - not as good as I hoped. That was what my '93 Club wagon with a 5.0 got. The Expy is way better on the highway, though, and also towing. It gets 9.5 with a 5500# travel trailer.

Per the computer, I get 13.5-13.9 on 50/50 city/highway driving. I drive 75 on the highway. Disappointing.
We also pull an 8000 lb. boat trailer. I've reset while towing and average 11.5-12. Not bad for the weight.

in the city I am getting anywhere from 10 to 14 depending on how much i get into it. On the highway if I stay 70 or below and don't accelerate fast keeping rpms around 1500 I get 20-23, 23 driving between 55 and 65 and not accelerating much at all. Normally i am driving over 70 and get 17-19.5.
If you keep your foot out of it the truck gets pretty good mpg considering the size and weight.

Finally got a chance to calculate 100% city driving.
14.8 mpg.
not bad for such a behemoth.
I did the math myself, but the mileage calc on the dash was bouncing back and forth from 14.8-14.9, so it seems pretty accurate to me.
