2018 3.5 Eco HDPP. My mileage seems to very greatly despite my driving habits staying the same. Coming out of winter I was expecting better better mileage but its actually gotten worse. Its been hovering around 15L/100km for both town and highway driving lately.
I got some summer shoes for it 275/60/20 K02's on some new wheels, totalling probably 15lbs heavier per corner. Now Im averaging 16.3L/100.
All stock, no tune, driving like a grandpa, and hand calculated numbers.
My employers 5.3 half ton cheys with E rated tires get driven like they are stolen, often with 4500lb trailers in tow and they are averaging 14.5L/100 lifetime.
So yeah, pretty disappointed with my mpg.

Mileage improving with summer gas and highway mileage.
Just did at 1400km round trip with 3 passengers and about 500lbs payload, averaged 11.7L/100km. Mostly highway, but a good collection of logging roads in Northern Ontario.
Second trip, 600km round trip, 1 passenger and less payload, 11.3L/100km, with warmer temps, all highway.
2016 5L, doing 115kmh or so average. Pretty reasonable when I'm getting about 16L/100km city downtown toronto.

I was wondering if you compensated for those big tires??....I got a 5.0 2011 crew work trk...... (consistant @ 6300lbs +) avg @ multi km's city & highway.....about 14.2 to 14.6 every trip...I don't reset the meter!!....Just installed a 2013 engine @ 122 km's.....Fuel went way down to 11.9 (speed under 100km's 1st week)....now I got a few weeks on it & average is just over 13.....with all kinds of driving & even a little abuse of speed @ 120km's.....
