It depends alot on how you drive and the speeds you maintain on the freeway..(under 60 is better) and if your truck is an auto trans or manual..

Where are you

Winter blend fuels in the northern regions arent as efficient either, i drop about 1 mpg on winter fuel.

Edit: I get 16.5 - 17 in the summer, I have been running 15 - 15.5 all winter. I just put the exhaust and intake on, was dead stock until a few weeks ago as well.

My 02 in my signature gets around 15 to 16 just ordinary driving. I got 18 on a trip last year to Michigan, driving it pretty hard. It's not stock, which actually can help fuel mileage if you keep your foot out of it.

Welcome aboard. I average around 10-13 mpg's in the winter, 12-16 mpg's in the summer. that's mixed driving/towing at 5900' to 9500' altitudes mainly.
