Leveled 5.0 Scab 4wd with 3.55 gears and Cooper S/T Maxx 275/70/18 tires.
Both my best and worst tanks of gas occurred on my trip from North Carolina to Arizona.
Worst: 10.2 mpg at 70-75 mph against a brutal head wind driving across New Mexico.
Best: 23.5 mpg at 75 mph with a hefty tail cross wind driving across New Mexico.
My average for the entire 4000 mile trip which included in town and trail driving came out to 17.1 .
My normal around home tank runs more or less right on 16 mpg.
