A lot of my trips are short couple mile trips back and forth to school. Anyhow I only get about 160 on a tank this way with a few longer trips thrown in. Anyway I know short trips aren't good on gasamileage but what does everyone else get? I get about 12 that way or about 16-17 on long trips

I get 15 to 16 city and 19 to 21 hwy. I seen an big increase when I put the Bully Dog GT and Toneau cover on. Sounds like you might need a tune up, lol. In don't know the mileage on your truck, but it's something to consider.

do you have dual tanks? if so check your front tank, i have heard when you use just one tank the return line goes the the front. that would explain why you only get 99 miles, but i could be wrong. ive got an 89 5.0 and i get 13, i havent checked using both tanks yet.
