During a recent trip from Indiana to northern Minnesota I tracked my mpg. I think the 17 mpg would have been going through Chicago and having a little traffic. Overall I was fairly happy, averaging about 7-10 mph over the posted speeds. I also don't have the return trip through Chicago since I didn't fill it up completely when getting back home.

Your table didn't format properly in the post. Lol, looks like you are only getting 3.4-3.5mpg.

Either my truck was\is completely broken or I just don't believe you. Over 20 mpg with 3.92 on a 426 mile trip?
I can't even get 20mpg on the highway going slightly downhill on a 110 mile section of my state (one where my old truck with 3.55 hit 30mpg

What do you have for wheel size and tires?

Stock size tires and wheels, 2 adults, 2 teenagers and the bed had food, luggage, fishing equipment etc. so not real heavy. Those numbers were close to what the truck calculated and matched between Fuelly and Gasbuddy calculators. I reset the tripometer when we left and drove 2222.5 miles averaging 19.7 mpg in 40:44 hrs/mins. I bought the truck used and the window sticker shows it with the 3.92 option, I have no reason to believe it has been changed. Your signature shows your truck is fairly modified, maybe the combo of mods is not the most fuel efficient. Our driving habits may also be quite different. Sorry you don't believe me.

When I was in stock suspension and tires, I averaged 19.5 on a trip from Omaha to Oklahoma City. Most of that was 75mph. I did have a Pulsar on set to performance mode
