With a 50/50 combo of empty suburban and towing suburban, I average about 16-17mpg this time of year. 17-18mpg for the same in the summer. In the summer if I can keep her at 65mph on the highway, I get 20+mpg!!

I get 21.5-22 everyday. That's around 50/50 town (small town)/hwy. I get 23-24 on trips on the interstate @ 70mph. The truck is a SO 2wd with an auto and 3.73, so that's about as good as it gets. Also I've got 117k on it right now.

It's amazing! From the time there was only 12 votes, the 15-19MPG group has been stuck on 66.6%! Talk about staying proportional!

I voted for 20+, current highest is 21.8 mpg. Most of the time I get in the upper teens.

Not knowing if you're looking for the average, city or highway so here's mine. Around town 15-18mpg, highway 20-25mpg depending how fast I drive.

I didn't vote because I am anywhere from 18 - 22 mpg hand calculated with about equal city and highway empty. All highway keeping rpm at or below 2k I can sometimes squeek out a bit more. This is with the '05... and driving conservatively, which means my wife doesn't drive at all. She likes to squeal the tires through as many gears as possible . I must admit it is fun though

Yeah, just as soon as I hit the Lotto I'm gonna buy a 2WD (lighter than 4wd) 2500, CTD & 48RE (will have it built.....Lotto!) and spend a lot of time smokin' the meats out on the county road!

I get between low 15s to high 18s in town and in the low 19s to high 21s on the highway. All hand calculated and every time I fill up to the top of the filler neck thanks to the tank vent mod. MPG all depend on how people drive and the kind of driving. Towing my fifthwheel I get between 10 and 12. As a side note I don't get caught up in driving to get mpg. I just drive. Since I drive a bigger city percentage I went with the 15 to 19 vote because my highway figures are straight road trips with no stopping.
