Seems to be such a huge range in mpg’s here. Some rebel owners with 35’s 5.7’s and 3.92’s claiming high teens doesn't make sense when other stock 5.7 etorque owners with the same gears and smaller tires are reporting 12. I can say my truck which is a 21’ etorque limited with 3.92’s + all the fancy active aero dams / radiator gills makes 12 mpg city and 14 hwy. I live in Ca and drive hwy 5 up the central valley which is sea level and flat as a pancake. I drive 55-65. I do have 34” ie: 290 70 18 tires with an all terrain tread. However I had the truck on stock wheels and tires for the first 12k miles and the mileage was the exact same. I run quality 89 oct. Basically doing my part here to get the best results. I think there must be a quality control issue here. I have never ever seen 20+ mpg. Not even If I zero out the trip calc on a long stretch of slightly downhill road. My average total on trip 2, which has not been reset since the purchase date, with 20k miles, is 10mpg. The spec sheet says city 17 hwy 23. I always baby the throttle. So I can honestly say that my numbers here come from my absolute best efforts at trying to get the best mileage I can.
