is that hand calculated? also what wheels and tires you running? what gears? it does seem a lil low to me... what driving style to you have too?
with my 37's and 4.30 gears i can easily see 12mpg city and 16+ highway.. i normally see around 350 miles for a full tank (29gal) but if i use some additve i can see 400 miles..
I see about 10.5mpg on the freeway. But that was with a broken tranny.

I am only seeing about 11, and I am not hard on my truck at all. I was hoping it was because it only has 17k on the clock with 35 inch tires. I am hoping the new tunes increase my mileage =).

My truck is bone stock. Havent done anything to the engine and stock tires. 10.2 is wat it reads on the cluster.
I have 33" tires w/80 hp X Cal IIII , Econo D.P. tune & 4:30 gears. I get (when I drive normal) 14 M.P.G. city/freeway. Doing 68 to 75 on freeway when I travel....l maybe 15.5, stay with stock size tires, I lost 2 MPG when I changed from the stock 265's (at 50,000 miles) & went with 33" tires. I changed tire size right when diesel prices started going past $4.00 a gallon
