Milage, what's yours?
I just ran 385 miles around town. I tried to keep my foot out of it for the most part but every time I pull up next to a Ford or Chevy, I prefer the view from the rear view mirror. Anyway, I'm getting 14.9 hand calculated. How about you?

I'm getting about 14 in town empty, 11.8 towing a 14 foot tandem dump trailer loaded with 8,000 lbs, that is on winter fuel and includes warm up time. Ferds have a hard time getting 11.8 empty on the highway...

Last year around this time of year I was running 23mpg empty highway, not sure about my in town.
I really need to do it again sometime soon though since I've added my Turbo, AirDog, Exhaust Manifold and Injectors

Last tank was 19.2 with about 50/50 city/highway Babyin the crap out of it.
I took a road trip to Vegas to pick up some wheels and tires got 22 round trip.
Avg'd 16 to Ouray CO and back last summer towin 6K pounds.
All on the calculator.
My over head is almost always within a half MPG of actual unless I mix a tank with towing and empty.
This truck is my daily driver and I get in the 19's consistantly. a tank lasts me 2 weeks depending on weekend travel.

That's my "problem" as well in regards to fuel mileage. During the week going back an forth from work, a tank would last me a couple weeks. Once I get out on the road on weekends doing whatever with my friends, bye bye fuel

Depends on my right foot, has never dropped below 14mpg, highest recorded yet is 22mpg if I remember correctly... Not bad, not great, but way better than the ford gasser I was driving around before it!

Well, I was averaging around 21-22 on the highway, now with bigger tires and winter blend fuel I'm averaging about 18-19.
This is all on the overhead as I don't get accurate numbers since I installed the auxiliary tank. Before I put the tank in though, my overhead was always +/-1 mpg from hand calculated, so I imagine it's probably still pretty close.
