I get about 11 city, 11.5 highway. I only drive a total of 30 miles a day max so it doesn't bother me that much. Plus, it's a lifted truck with a 383, I'm like a big kid that gets to ride the big wheel all day! :rocking: My wife has a little mazda 6 that we drive anywhere we need to go.

Around 12 in the city and about 15 on the highway. I did get as good as 17.5 -18 on the highway once though. The highway dead that night and I didn't have to tap my brakes for slow drivers. Straight cruise control pretty much all the time.
