If the poll is useless it's because most people don't seem to know how to get their Average. Average is just that average, If you don't check it over a long period of miles, longer than a (hill) going up or down you don't really know what your mileage is. If you haven't kept a fuel mileage log and you haven't Checked your average over 1,000 miles you shouldn't even think of posting your Average MPG!!
My 05 6.0 over the time I have had the truck NEW I have averaged 15.454 MPG That is over 22,000 (miles)-Off the top of my head!! 05 6.0 Reg. Cab 4X4. I've pulled a 10,000# trailer about 12% of that time.
The few times I have Not pulled a trailer For a few tanks I average 16.1!!. I've never pulled a trailer for a whole tank of fuel but I did for about 200 miles and it got 11.2 MPG but I do not think that is a long enough period for getting the average while pulling the trailer!!

Howdy,
This is what always bugs me. Granted, most users here have a 6.0 engine. Some don't, and some don't even have a truck (yet) - like myself. However, all of us "no-6.0-ers" are curious guys. If I want to look at the data, I will have to submit a fake number. Is that what you really want?! Why don't you just open the poll for everyone?
