A heavy foot is a big problem. You also have to factor in truck configuration, rear end, 2wd or 4wd, winter or summer fuel.
Running empty I average around 19.8 with my CC LWB 2wd stick shift and a light foot.

This is really a tired subject, but I will put my results in here anyway. 19-20 city driving, 23-24 highway, but I admit to driving like an Alta Kaaka just because I know no matter how cool WOT is, it is expensive and getting more expensive everyday.

Now this is amazing even for me. I just got 22 mpg city only. Very carefully topped it off both times. The only changes have been a new fuel filter and unplugging the fuel heater, that and warmer weather. To me it is too good to be true.

I drive very cheaply as much as I like getting on it. I am an old drag racer that used to do 140 mph in the 1/4 mile with a Pontiac powered '64 GTO. I was even featured in a National drag racing magazine. But those days are nothing but a memory to me anymore. I can't even believe these results myself so I'm going to try and cram some more in it in the morning.

Oh yeah, I've got 156K on the odometer too, and still running strong!
I've never checked my EBP tube (only had the truck 8 months). I'm going to have to add that to my list...
