Some people on this site would kill for those numbers from their 6.7. That's pretty close to what I'm getting though (actually you're doing slightly better than me).

Well not mine 9 towing, 11.5-12.3 city 14.7 hwy, I put a mp-8 to see if there would be a increase in mileage and none so far.....So count your blessing with those numbers.

Why is it the 4x4's get such bad mileage???
A buddy of mine has a 2wd 6.7 and a 6spd manual and he is getting 17 in the city and 21 on the highway...

I wouldn't expect to see any MPG improvement with the Tonneau on. I have an 03 as a personal truck and the tonneau makes no difference in MPG city or Highway. My 08 6.7 worker gets about 13 city, and 15-16 highway.

I could possible do that if I drove 50 mph on the highway everywhere I went. I started keeping a log on mine at 3349 miles. My last entry was at 17,880 miles, I missed 4 entries so that ups my avg. just a bit I could do the math. I'm avg. 13.77 mpg all types of driving. Towing, hot rodding, town, grandpa. That's computer calc. with texas gas prices.com. Did the math anyways makes my avg. 13.97 mpg.

I immedietly saw a 1-2 mpg difference!!! that works out to about 5-10% !!!
I'd say that's a savings for sure.... pays for your cover & then some in the life of the truck.

I get 18-19 mpg on the highway and 14-15 mpg city, haven’t done a full tank towing yet but I estimate it to be between 11-12 mpg. That's hand calculated, my overhead usually reads 1.5 mpg higher then what ever I calculate.
