Default GPM's???

Ive got a 94 4x4 XLT 5.0 (low miles and great shape) and was wondering how many gallons per mile on the hiway and in town everyone gets???? I know it should MPG's just thought it should be GPM's in our case is all! I drove my truck from Charlotte to Orlando recently and was scratching me knoggin on my mileage. After a couple responses Ill post just how many GPM's I got to see if its normal or not.

Assuming clear roads and driving around 60 MPH, i would expect in the neighborhood of 15 miles per gallon.

Clear roads and driving 75 to 80 on average I guess. Speed limit was 70 - 95% of the time.

That kind of speed will certainly use considerably more gas. I'm guessing 11 to 12 MPG would be expected then.
