This time of year I average just under 14 MPG with about no matter 50/50 highway or most all highway.
Warmer weather I average just under 15

If you want good MPG don't buy a full size truck.

if you get the gm 5.3L, get the 4.10 gears...i wouldn't even consider that engine with anything taller after my experience, unless i liked my transmission shifting every time a butterfly flapped it's wings on the highway...

If you have to worry about gas mileage.You should not buy $30,000 and $40,000 dollar trucks.You should be able to afford gas for it.I had a chevy 2003 Z71 x-cab,they do not get 20mpg,not even if it feel out of airplane.Any thing with some size to it going to drink gas."Just like a BIG GIRL is going to eat"!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean the Ridgeline? And they get crap for mileage too. My uncle gets about 16 in his, but he keeps his foot in it to keep his K & N Intake from whistling

I have a 2007 F150 with crew cab and 4.6L w/4x4. I get about 16 mpg if I drive it like I want to, 19.5 mpg at 70 mph, and 20.3 mpg at 65 mph. I have learned to trade time for money with this vehicle.
