Well it's no where close to what I get. I usually hover around the 14-15 mpg empty, and 9-12 loaded.

Most likely calcualted by the overhead MPG (Miles Perhaps, Guessing ) display while coasting downhill at idle.

Re:26 mpg? ehhh

Best I've ever done was 25. That was running with cruise on 65, windows up, AC off (it was winter time so you could run just the vents and be fine), tailgate up, and COMP on 1x5 WITH pump wire hooked up. It was also a 400 mile trip through pretty much flat land.

Re:26 mpg? ehhh

I can get -99- mpg on long stretches of highway. Parley's Summit to Salt Lake City, travelling east from Silver Zone Pass, the Eisenhower Tunnel to Denver, West Yellowstone to Bozeman, running east on the highway just west of Ogallala, Beckley to Charleston, Christiansburgh to Roanoke, to name just a few.

What's the matter with the rest of you guys?

99MPG you say?.......

I guess every time you stop to refuel, you also need to change the oil?

Re:26 mpg? ehhh

I get a steady 19-20mpg, I run between 70-80mph freeway, loaded pulling through the mountains on my last hunting trip I averaged it out at 798miles round trip came up to 13.49mpg! Not bad considering I had my foot in it the whole way. ;D
The best I have ever seen out of a ctd was a buddy of mine (older gentlemen) No offence to members, he runs around 22-23mpg, but he never get's above 60mph. I pass him every night on the way home. ;D

Re:26 mpg? ehhh

ehhh???....is this a Canadian truck??

If so, it is possible since this milage could be calculated using Imperial gallons not U.S. gallons....4.54 L/ Imperial gallon vs. 3.78 L/U.S. gallon - as a result Canadian trucks sound like they get more milage since they ues less "gallons" per mile.

Re:26 mpg? ehhh

I have got 24mpg quite a few times, but I have tall skinny tires, canopy, and 5spd. I consistently get over 20mpg.
