My old '05 (4x4) never got more than 15mpg on the highway, and that's at 65mph. My wife, the main driver would get 11mpg around town. Don't believe the milage computer, figure it out and you will see it's wrong.

Hmmm.......mine is about as dead on as it can be. Every time i check it against hand calc., it's not off more than .5 MPH at most. 13-15 towing, commuter driving 14-16 and HWY not towing can go as high as 20-21 on a real good day, but 18-20 in varying conditions (like wind, which is a killer). I usually run the speed limit or less which helps, and rarely use the cruise. I can manage speed better with my foot.
