Took the truck up into the mountains to OhioPyle to walk some trails with my lady friend yesterday. Got a half a tank of gas before the trip then reset my little Fuel Computer thingy and after a 107 mile round trip through windy mountain road doing about 5 mph over the speed limit (ranging from 35 to 65mph) with frequent stops, bends, and hills on a two lane road I got 19.9 as my average... Happy

Ya it is by far the best mileage I've gotten so far, especially for the driving conditions I was in

19.9 mpg with Mountains, varying speeds, stops and 3.73 gears. I got screwed with these 3.55s. Yet another 3.73 truck with great mileage.

Lower gears often get better mileage in city/stop and go driving than a taller ratio.
