Truck in sig with tune. I get total 15.6 combined. I have 1 50 minute commute (each way - 4 days/week). Do my share of off-road every weekend during hunting season as well. A tune will help a lot. The dealer won't.

Winter blend gas isn't an issue in the south. It is the summer gas that is formulated to produce less emissions. We get better fuel mileage in the winter.

I've got a 2012 FX4 with a 6" Lift, 20x12's, and 35's. With the 5 Star Tunes I get anywhere between 12 in town and 18 on the highway with the 87 Performance tune.

All summer gas produces less emissions. Winter gas has butane which lowers mpg.

It was averaging about 17 combined when it was stock. Not sure how some people are getting 22mpgs. Never seen that in the life of the truck. Tire size has not been corrected for, next time I fill up I'll calculate it by hand and see what it is

I'd kill for that.
