    I get about 10-12 but it really only drives about 4k miles a year, all short trips unless its towing a boat or wheeler trailer. I think my highest tank average was 16 or so and that was the most miserable month of driving ever and not doing that again because the 2mpg gain wasn't worth the frustration of not driving fun. It's a truck, it hauls my toys.

    I've tried my best to drive like a grandma and even speed up down the hills to get up the hills lol I only ever hit 24.4 reported. Most the time 80mph highway not on a windy day more like 16-18ish. Taking the backroads at 60 easily 20-22mph.

    Hills, lots of hills.

    Filled up my tank this morning (was at less than a 1/4 tank left) with 93 octane Shell, just to see if there really is a difference. Full disclosure, my trucked rolled hit the 4k miles mark on the way...barely broken in.Hoped on I-75N from Knoxville, TN and headed north for 230 miles. Stopped to get the same gas again, and low and behold, the numbers essentially lined up. The gas costs ~35% more, and the mileage was ~35% better. Might run a few more tanks just to see if anything changes, but $1 for $1, I’m not seeing a real difference in the economics of octane for this truck.

    I'm lucky if I get 13 mpg. Usually high 11's or 12. When I bought the truck the dealer had a general mpg rating on the website, I assume for the trucks that were stock. With the six inch lift and wheels and tires not so good. Still happy with the truck but I think a re-gearing is in order so the transmission isn't constantly searching for a happy place.

    I’m stock OR 2019 and getting 17 a tank. In ideal conditions of flat road and 60-65mph I can get 20-21. If I drive like a non-old man I get 15-16.

    Never a flat surface where I'm at. I get different mileage every trip I take depending on which way I go. 13 is a good day though. I was getting 25 in my 350Z so was kind of shocked when I got the truck. Loving every minute not having to crawl out of the car though and with all of the weather here and animals that jump in front of me the truck is definitely a plus.

    I don't have 1500 miles yet but so far at 20 around town. Any freeway driving is 22-23. Mind boggling how low some of you are going. But I do drive like an old man. :)

    I usually have my cruise control set to 67. Smokey's around here are terrible so can't usually break 70.

    I get between 19 and 21 mpg depending on how much stop and go traffic I hit on my 50 mile round trip to work.

    Last weekend over a 300-mile trip, the display showed 19.5 and I got 20.2 MPG when I calculated it by hand.

    Just did a 3000+ mile trip, all interstate. Cruise control set on 75 and averaged between 22 and 23. At one point, right after a fillup, the computer was showing 28+ MPG. After several fillups, the computer would show 385 miles to empty. A 100 miles later, it was showing 325 to empty.

    2017 2WD access cab, 33,000 miles, all stock.

    28 mpg.jpg Been trying to go easy and see how high I can get the MPGs. 85 Mile trip pulling 3700# trailer. Got 16 MPG. 60 miles today with same trailer 17 MPG. Took an afternoon drive no trailer and it popped over 28 for a second but gas station was up hill so 27.9 for that trip.
    My MPG calculations are higher by about .4 than the truck computer. This is all on flat driving 50 MPH and less. last tank averaged 22MPG. I think MPG went up a little with the TRD intake and MBRP exhaust. I have a 2" lift with 265/70/17 . Pretty happy with the MPGs you can achieve when driving mindfully.20190421_175149.jpg

    A few.
    450 might be a stretch but possible. Ive been knocking on the door of 400 on last few tanks getting 390 - 400 when low fuel light comes on.

    412 was the longest I went before filling up, but it only took 18.6 gallons so I could have made it to 450.

    I've made it to 420. Low fuel light has been on for about three miles.
