currently i average 20-22 mpg in the same driving conditions.
never had the reflash for mialge etc, but the truck will be geeting the latest software soon. ive been useing the gps to verify milage since the tire swap, so i know things are still accurate.

Hey gus I would look into getting your speedo checked. 20-22mpg with a set of 35's on it. And you are claiming you are getting that around town. Sorry but I think you maybe writting for Aesops Fables

I've got 4.10s and the NV5600, but I have 315s. I get around 16.5 - 17 normal driving, and I have seen as high as 18mpg on a longer highway trip.

as stated in my prior post, yes speedomiter is off..but i am basing it on the fact that i drive the same route every day, every trip (41miles) and i verifyed every thig w/ gps before and after the tire swap, so yes i feel my #'s are corect, and they are not just based on 1 or 2 tanks, its based off of an verry thuro fuel log. if i were to be getting that milage based on the current spedo calibration, id be seeing 25+mpg...
as far as trafic conditions, it is mixed driving, I5 here in the PNW is rated in the top 5 for worst trafic in the country, ie: to get from the main Boeing building to my house (20.5 miles) generaly takes 45 min on a verry good day, and some times takes as much as 3 hours. trust me, you shuld see my clutch leg, just for fun one day i countd pushing it in over 100 times in a mile.
and yes, average fill up for me takes right about 35 gal and i do it usualy betwen 700-775 miles on a tank. i have run it lower once when i forgot my wallet and pushed 790 out of it...
