These trucks can and will get 20+ MPG, but you really have to drive it like grandpa. No jackrabbit starts, and keep it under 70 MPH on stock tires/3.73 gearing. Mine is a shortbed, so when I nearly hit 600 miles on 30 gallons, I was thrilled...
you seem to be thinking the same as me
I have run 1000 km on a tank of fuel
with your 600 miles on 30 gal would give you 30+km per gal
600 mi = 966km devided by 30 gal = 32.2 km per gal I think
