Drove mine from NY to Marco Island in Florida, and around Naples for 4 days in Feb 2017, then back to NY. A little over 3K miles in all, averaged just over 16mpg, with 285/75/16's (33's).

Stepped up to 275/65/20's (34.1"), and mileage has dropped to about 13mpg, but not all highway either. Having a check engine light on for a knock sensor probably doesn't help.

thats not bad mileage at all with those tires. My rig was mostly stock at the time.
