    Let's see what you have in the vicinity of 78.5 miles. That 10 mile nonsense means a whole lot of nothing. Until then, OP still has you beat.

    How did the roast chickens on the hood affect your mileage? Were you trying to simulate the drag induced by the Sport's fake skewp?

    Dumped my 2004 for a 2016 Silverado 4.3L get 21mpg Highway and 19 mixes driving. All with 255/75r17 Duratracs does just fine for the off-roading that 99% of the people on here do. Especially if you learn to drive it and realize it’s a full size. Don’t miss it on bit.

    All it does is keeps track of your mpg per fillup...

    At 27 MPG it has far more to do with the grade of the road.

    I do 20 miles in each direction to work every day and I can get 24-25 without much effort but the road has very little elevation change.

    On a 100 mile trip to the coast, where there are long sweeping elevation changes, I can’t break 20.

    But yes, careful driving habits certainly help
