Mine is the STX SCAB, it could be the added weight of the SCREW causing less MPG? I was getting about 17 - 17.5 on gas with ethanol. Real gas gets better MPG.

When I got mine, I was getting right around 18 with a roughly 50/50 mix city/highway. I have not driven a full tank exclusively on either in the 9000 miles I've had the truck, but I did show close to 23mpg over a 3 day period of mostly highway driving, but by the time I needed to full up, I had put a bunch of city miles and it skewed the numbers.

I put a set of FX 20s with the stock Pirelli's (275/55 I believe), and a K&N intake, and one or both caused my mileage to drop to around 15.5, give or take a few tenths. I know my speedo and odo are off because of the tires, and according to one website the odo is off by about 4.4%, which would be around 16.2mpg if you factor that back in. Still lower than stock, but it's a truck, I dont expect good mileage.

This is a '13 RCSB.

I get from 18.5 mpg to 19.5 in town being easy on the pedal and 19.5 to 20.8 and occasionally 21 on level highway @ 70.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set the CC on about 63 and typically have the A/C this time of year and I can't even get to 20 MPG.

Not a bad average for a 2,600+ mile round trip!.
