You can see my lifetime mpg in my signature. Roughly 40/60 mix of city/highway on rolling hills around here. I drive with a light foot except for the acceleration onto a ~60mph road right outside my neighborhood each day.

17.97 mpg over 20 non-towing fill-ups with 89 octane at 25/75 city/hwy with my hwy work commute speeds around 75-78 mph. I guess the hills here in Northern LA qualify as rolling.

Dang even though my truck has some gremlins that bug me, at least it gets great gas mileage apparently! I’m on 37” Toyo MTs and a 6.5” lift and I consistently average 13.5mpg 100% city. There’s not much traffic but I do hit a lot of stop lights on my daily commute and quite a few rolling hills. I think highway I get about 15.5 but I haven’t tracked that one as much since I rarely drive on the highway. With 35s I got the same mpg city and 16.5 highway.

About 16MPG for me right now, but I don't even have 1000 miles on the odometer yet. That will improve. 5.7 non etorque with 3.21 gears.

I have 3.92 and only 800 miles on my truck. I'm averaging 16.8 with about 25% town driving and 75% highway at 75-80mph.

18.8 on my last 10 fill ups according to Fuelly. Think that's pretty good considering my 2014 Silverado with the 5.3L was usually in the 14-15 range.

I'm seeing right around 18 mpg with the 3.21/eTorque setup. I'm pleasantly surprised - I was only getting around 20mpg with my old V6 Nissan Frontier.

I get similar to the OP. I do about half city/half highway driving and a lot of idling.

Almost at 1000 miles on my trip, this is my normal commute back and forth to work, part highway part city.
I just hit 18mpg average! What?
(I'm more than a little excited since my last vehicle got about 10mpg, 14 with a tailwind, and had zero cargo room or space for passengers)
Did I mention 18mpg?
89 octane Mobile fuel.
I have about 2500 miles on my truck and getting 20.2 average. 80% highway,

5.7L HEMI® V8 ENGINE WITH eTORQUE​

4x4 3.92 rear

That's pretty darn impressive!

My setup matches yours and my tanks are consistently between 19.7 and 20.1 mpg with 60% highway driving. I take off from stops like a granny, but cruise around 75mph.
A lot of gas can be saved by being gentle on take-off... but sometimes the beast just wants to be unleashed.

5.7, 3.21, 26k on the clock. Overall, around 18MPG mixed highway/city.

I've found the biggest effect on city is to get up to speed fairly quickly (don't floor it!), babying it has a negative effect for me.

I'm happy with mine. I get 21-22, but I also live in the sticks. Almost no city driving. I live 8 miles from work and it takes me 10 minutes to get there. I rarely go over 60mph, unless I need to pass. When I pull the camper, I'm seeing ~13mpg.

Haha, yeah. I wanted a supercharger and then I realized I’ve never pushed past half throttle yet.
