    1500 miles on the truck and it seems to have taken a pretty good jump. I was getting around 17 on my commute and now I’m getting around 22. It seemed to increase pretty suddenly too. I took a decent trip with it and since I got back it’s jumped up. Computer? Breaking in ?

    I've been getting garbage mileage since day 1 (a few months ago)....average around 15 with a mix of city/hwy. Up to about 1200 on the clock now and still waiting for anything close to advertised. Guessing this constant blasting of the AC here in AZ doesn't help?

    Sounds more like a road trip, less stop n go driving will greatly increase mileage. I'm not sure about your area, but around here the metro has shitty ethanol added, but out an hour or so, going in to rural areas we'll find non ethanol, it's like winning the redneck lottery.
