I was able to get just a tad over 22MPG @ 70-75 on a 200 mile trip drafting behind an semi. (Not too close, but a few car lengths)

I've had my '07 KR SCrew 5.4 with 3.73 gears for about a month now and have taken it on several 200+ mile trips to the NW mountains in PA.
According to the trucks trip computer, I got 21.6 mpg each time with the cruise set @ 72 mph.

It's completely stock except for an Airaid Modular Intake Tube and a new stock air filter.

If I ever actually drove the speed limit, it would be almost "hybrid-like !! LOL

Default That would be sweet mileage

Best I've gotten so far with a '08 stx (12k) with 4.6, 3.55's and auto is 17 mpg,
completely stock traveling at 65 mph
MAF is clean too
How did you manage that mileage?
cai and a tuner?

I just broke the 13.3 MPG mark, yyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh bbbbboooooooyyyyyyyy

PS Thats cruise control set at 70 mph. However I do have 35's and 3.55 factory gears so she really throttles hard to keep the higher speeds going, can't wait til I put in the 4.10's, then we'll really be cooking, mmmmmmmmmmmmm, 4.10's, aaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Nice. The best mine has gotten is 16.3 and that was all highway and then sitting in traffic for almost an hour with the ac on.

Ive got a 5.4 with 3.55 gears. Normally it gets 15 mpg and most of my driving is on the highway.
