MPG Poll
How many MPG's are you getting on your trucks? Of course, trucks with 10K + will get better MPG as they are getting broken-in. So it is not a 100% scientific poll but I am interested in seeing what they get...

I haven't gotten the chance to redo the highway calculations since I broke the 10k barrier. With 3000 miles on it, I did a trip to S. Dakota towing my 22ft. flatbed empty car trailer up, and loaded with a '66 comet on the way home.
Got 16.7 up, and 13.5 back. All hand calc'd, all fills with unfoamed #2 up to the fuel cap, no additives.
Now it has winter fuel, doesn't come up to op temp until I get halfway to the job, and I can't seem to keep my foot out of it. I am still averaging about 17 give or take a tenth or two. I need a long trip again!

Right now I am at around 17 MPG in the winter. I usually get 18-19 MPG. My truck as just over 6k now. Last time I towed, I averaged 14 MPG with a 20ft enclosed trailer.

22+ average on a 600 mile a week all highway commute and 59000 on the odo. I don't have a city for that milage figures. All pencil figures.
Lots of variables to low/high mpgs. Our 3500 DRW/4.10 gears/QC/auto/big tires/heavy aftermarket options/city driveing/driving habits can kick any gas or diesel trucks mpgs in the rear. My 6780 lb 2500 gets better mpgs than my neighbors heavy loaded 3500 DRW truck that weighs 8300+ lbs.

My hand-calculated milage has been about 16.5mpg, up to 18.0mpg on an all highway trip, with the Juice set on level 4. It dropped down to under 15mpg with the Juice removed from the truck (the past two months - it is back in now!).

My numbers are going to be a little skewed due to the size of our gallon. But I have gotten over 26mpg empty. My last trip pulling my 37' fifth wheel that weighs 13k dry I got a combined mpg of just over 16. Some of that was driving through cities, some through the rocky mountains.

I get 16 to 18 MPG unloaded and 10-12 MPG pulling my trailer. I bought this truck to pull. Fuel mileage is just a plus in my book. My old 04' 1500 Quad Hemi only got 15 MPG not matter what unloaded. I am pleased with the mileage. You guys that are moaning and groaning about fuel mileage give me a break!!!!!!!
