Lets do a data base thread on what kind of fuel mileage you are getting in your truck.

Post your trucks year, motor and any mods with the fuel mileage...minimum commentary.

My 2012 Tundra with the 5.7L, Icon suspension that lifts it about 2" and 33" Toyo's is getting 13.6 all around [mostly city] and gets 15 on the highway averaging 75 mph.

2004 Tacoma TRD 4x4 with the 3.4L V6 which I’ve kept at stock height. I have a shell on it and if I’m keeping it at 65 on the freeway I can squeeze out around 20mpg. Driving normal I’m around 17/18

19.1 On my 2018 Cummins crew cab, long bed empty and mostly on the highway to and from work.
12-13 mpgs loaded up with my 4wheeler and towing my camp trailer that weighs 5000-6000 pounds.
The 19.1 is since the day I bought it. I thought it was just a fluke but it doesn't ever get below 17 mpg when its empty and sometimes will go above 19.5. No B.S.

2014 Ram with 5.7 hemi probably 14-15 mpg. BFG KO2s knock it down a bit, but save me a lot of punctures on our bad gravel road. Also with the 6 speed auto, should have gone with the 8.

2015 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 one size bigger tires than stock and I get right at 18 on the highway and 15 around town. I was getting much better fuel mileage with the stock size tires, about 21 on the highway.

1999 F250 7.3L with canopy it averages somewhere between 19.1 and 19.9 on the freeway doing 72-73mph.

2005 Toyota Tacoma averages just about 19mpg on the nose driving state roads doing 60-65mph. I tried Ko2's but they dropped the milage down to 17 and change.
