Mileage...
17,000 GCW, 3.54 gears, 6-speed, tall 5'er. I try to run 68 mph. With EZ & 275's. I get a skosh under 11 mpg.
One thing that irks me, and I realize I'll get flamed for it, is when someone says something to the effect of, "I get X mpg no matter how I drive it." What a crock (I think). I personally think that their vehicle must be driven similarly (erratically) from tank to tank.
If I drive conservatively, I can get nearly 20 m.p.g. city/highway, unloaded. If I drive spirited (which is considering a 7,200 lb truck), I get 16 - 17 mpg city/highway, unloaded. If I run a tank steady @ 65 mph on the interstate, I'd get 22 - 23 mpg, unloaded. My mileage definitly varies depending on the discipline of my right foot.
