My best around town unloaded is 16-19mpg, Best ever on the highway@ my trucks' sweet spot of 68mph (1900rpm) is 23.3 hand calculated. Not too bad for a dually.

Just got 22 MPG - not from over head - but calculated.

It has just been getting better and better. I have 22,000 miles on the truck, a 2006 2500 Mega 4x4 6sp with 19.5/245 ties (34 inch).

But I have been driving for mileage - coasting, slow acceleration, staying under 65, and resisting the temptation to race Fords.

Question

The first year I tracked every fill up and miles. Used Denvergasprices.com web site to log all fill up's. This was driving back and forth to work, taking trips, (empty and pulling a 5800# TT), some flat highways and some rocky mountain highways and curvy two lanes and Mountain passes, some short trips (few hundred miles),and some long trips (few thousand miles).
I got a total average of 14.88 MPG. For the year.
Any thoughts??

Really need separate polls for City, Highway and Mixed..... I can go from just shy of single digits to just breaking 20mpg depending on those factors..... So i'll just vote based on my rough average...

I'm getting a steady 20. I do a round trip of 50 miles a day and average 55 mph on one stretch and 65 mph on another. No city driving at all and I've got 61K on the truck. I'm happy :-)
