Mileage Poll

I want to know what you are getting for mileage on your 5.9 Cummins. NOT towing, just normal daily driving. If you do respond, please add if you have a 4x4 or 2wd, auto or stick. Thanks

I would say 16-19, but selected 15-18..

Here is every fill up I have had for the last 60K miles. When looking at the city miles those are actually towing miles, so for normal driving look at the the 0% city ones. My average was 16.5 until I bought a DD and it's been slowly dropping since I tow a greater percentage of the time now.
