17 combined driving like I stole it. I can get 20 if I drive like a normal person and keep the boost under 10psi, rpms under 2000, and stay under 70 on the highway. But that's not much fun.... For me, with 285/75R16s and 3.73 gears I think if I drove less than about 65 mph I would get 22-23 on the highway. That's just looking at my boost gauge and seeing when it goes above "0"....

Wow, only getting about 14.5 out of mine. Help is on the way though. Have an AFE Stage 1 intake and an Air Dog FP 100 in the mail now.

14 mpg with adding the 2stroke to fuel and a power puck, cfm air horn and s&b intake, seems the more I do the worse my mpg is getting, highway with just the puck was 20mpg, i thought adding the little extras would make my fuel economy increase not decrease

No towing

My last tank, hand calculated got 16 even, running winter fuel and with 3 to 5 minute warmups. I have a topper with small boat rack on top and about 500 pounds of tools. For a 3/4 ton 4x4 I don't think that's to bad. Twogun
