After obtaining an average mileage of 10.8 "in town" mpg when new, the truck has progressed to 11.2 then 11.8 and now is at 12.33mpg "in town" driving. Not bad for 4x4, auto.tranny super cab, long bed and lariat. It just turned over 8000 miles.
I would like to do some freeway driving, but only seem to do that with the camper loaded. With the camper it gets about 10.8 freeway.
Just poseting for informational reasons for the curious [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Outpost, did you figure the mileage by your trip computer or with the odometer and a pen & pencil? I have the same truck with your options and i think the computer is a bit quircky.

All figures are done by hand...NO trip computer.
Topped off tank, with odo reset. These are TRUE figures not a computer guess [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] although the trip computer has been fairly close (+/- 3 tenths)
