I average 15 - 16 mpg all around. I only calculate usually when I fill up which isn't often since I don't drive it much. When I do drive it, it's usually hauling or towing so perhaps I would get better mileage, maybe.

4.2L V6, 4X2, 6" RCD lift kit, 4.56LS, AF1 intake, XCAL2 running my 87oct. tow tune, 33" BFG AT's.

Truck is a 2002 Scab with A\T.
