05 super cab 4x4 on 33's with 3.73 gears I'm getting 13ish in the city and 16 highway. Set cruise at a tick under 70 and keep it below 2000 rpm

Tips? Keep your foot out of it and accelerate slow.

2005 Screw with 5.4/373 and 35's on a level kit. With the mud tires 12.8 no matter where I drive. With the all terrains I get 13.1 city and 15.5 on the interstate running 75 mph.

Get a programmer with custom tunes, correct your speedo/odo, and keep your foot out of the firewall.

When I was bone stock my 07 Scab got 18.3hwy/14.5city with stock 17" wheels and 3.55 gears. With just a Whipple pushing 8psi added she got 18hwy and city varied based upon my driving lol. Usually 13mpg though. Now pushing her for it's worth she get's 16.5hwy and 11-13city just depends on me. She also has a 3500 stall converter so that affects city some. Wheels are 22" with 305/40's and gearing is 4.11.

My 07 Harley with Saleen blower got 10 mpg and that was on a good day. That was also on premium gas. Which is why I no longer own it!

any of you guys ever compare your truck mileage to a gps. Those larger tires are not calculating your odometer correctly. Back when I had my 07 5.4 fx4 oversized tires with programmer I got 14.6 average.
