    Hey, what are yall averaging mpg wise right now? mine seems to be lacking here recently and I cant seem to figure out why. changed filters, oil, plugs, greased everything and its still lacking. I actually noticed zero difference in anything after the plug change. ive got a little over 103k on the clock. she still runs like new (minus the fuel efficiency). :notsure: im just stumped. also, tires are all sitting pretty as far as wear and pressures.

    I average 19, mostly city driving, with fiberglass shell, larger tires than stock and some weight in the bed (tools and stuff)

    What does your looks like?

    I average about 16.5 and I live in the hill country. My truck has about 750lbs constant load on it between heavy front steel bumper, camper shell, sleeping platform, dual battery setup, solar panel, ARB awning, etc. Thank goodness I have the 5spd. if it was an auto, this truck would be even more of a dog than it already is. I also have about 3.5 inches of lift up front. Prior to the lift I average about 18-20

    Edited to add, it does everything I ask of it and then some, its just a little :turtleride:

    added a shell, have about 50-80lbs of tools and a cooler in the bed. but most of these things were in there before I noticed the drop start. I get around 18-19 with my normal driving. it used to be up between 21-23 (21 being the min that I saw no matter what and never above 23). and yea, she still does everything I ask and then some too, but I just need to figure out if this drop in mpg is the start to a problem somewhere that I can take care of now and not have something bigger happen down the road.

    I have to say it is kinda weird... In my case tires, shell and tools really made the difference between 21 and now 19. but you it just happenend like this... No colder temp? more time spent idling?
