    LOL

    2.7 x cab 4x4 with 33s, 4.56 gears and armor im lucky to hit 220 on winter blend gas doing about 70/30 highway/city.

    Summer is a bit higher, probably around 250. If I do 100% highway I can hit 20 mpg.

    Don't think so. Maintain your truck and stay off the go pedal you might achieve the same.

    Once you break the factory barrier all bets are off, lol. I closed my deck plate and did the elbow mod with MIT tube. I also have a AFE ProDry drop in filter. 40 psi in the front tires and 36 psi in the rears. That bumper and winch I'm sure is what's killing your mpgs but hey who cares when your having fun.

    I've been getting around 21mpg on 91 E0
    (which would be 315 miles on my 15gal tank; although, I've never ran it below 1/4 to make sure)
    And that's probably at least 80% highway

    Truck is a 3.4 5-speed; pretty well stock and running 31/10.5/15's

    On about 15 gallons of 91 Octane, my odometer shows between 230 and 270, depending on if city or highway.

    I'm not sure I trust the tire calculator, but with the 11% increase, that's supposedly 255-300.

    I'm chasing an issue with my truck, and if/when I find it, I hope that increases some.

    Got about 330 miles on around 17 gallons of 87 octane gas strictly highway.

    I'll be making the same trip Saturday, except I'll have an ultragauge this time. So I'll know exactly what I'm getting this time.

    '96 2rz 5 lug, filled just below 1/4 tank line all in town driving 275 miles, 12 gallons on the dot to refill. I can get @ 90 miles per 1/4 tank increment on the gauge in town. Highway I can get a bit better, at least 100-110 per 1/4 tank. I ususally fill up around 1/4 tank but maybe this tank I will run it a bit lower and see what I get. Theoretically I should be able to hit 400 miles on a tank....all highway driving I might be able to but it would be tight. 15 gallon tank.

    ~210 miles per tank on a V6 doublecab on 265/75/16 KO2's. That's all city driving.

    All highway, I get over 400 miles! Big difference, unfortunately 99% of my driving is city.

    2000 V6, 4x4 extended cab, auto, 195k miles, 31" Duratracs and I consistently get 300 miles/tank, equating to ~20 mpg's. That's 70/30 hwy/city driving. Been on a couple of road trips and got 24 mpg's running 75 mph.

    Biggest key is maintenance - I run synthetic everything, new plugs and wires (not new coils). Stock air box and filter. I keep my tires aired up to 35 psi, which makes a huge difference. I also use the cruise control whenever possible, even running 40 mph on city streets. Also, since the AC compressor has seized I never have it on, which helps.

    If I put on highway tires I do not doubt that I could get 23-24 mpg's constantly with 70/30 city/hwy driving.
