I get 19 overall mixed city and hwy in the winter and 20 MPG mixed city/highway in the summer. That mileage is with a bone stock truck, easy driving style, no lift or oversized tires with the 6 speed manual trans. I believe the auto trucks get slightly less MPG than than a properly driven 6 speed manual. Autos absorb a bit more energy through the trans than a manual.

However, I just installed an Edge Evolution which should boost those MPG numbers conservatively to at least 1 MPG higher given the same style of driving.
