Howdy,

'10 QC Big Horn Hemi w/ 3.92 gears & 275/60-20's

I live in rural Arkansas and with daily driving I'm in the 18.5mpg range with my lead foot.

I can drive to Little Rock and back and average over 20 mpg if I drive the speed limit.

I've made 2 trips to Dallas and I averaged 19.2 and 19.3mpg and that's driving over the speed limit the entire trip, plus stop and go construction traffic driving with 4 adults and luggage w/ the A/C going too.

When the "man" states 20mpg highway mileage he means driving at a steady 55mph on a perfectly flat plane at sea level with a 80lb driver and a tail wind, not driving 75mph with 3 adults and 500lbs of cargo in the hill country.

Paul

Ok back from Phoenix, Got 17mpg at average speed of 70mph w/cruise control. Guess that's as good as its gonna get and I dont care, the ride was comfortable and had power.
Love my little Hot Rod truck!

Come summer time you may see a little more out of your truck. Even in CA they use some winter additives in the fuel and your motors still breaking in
I believe my dad has been averaging 10.5-11.5 in his 11 big horn. He pretty much just drives it to work and back which is 5 miles away with 9 stop signs I think lol
He did average 20.5 and 21 mpg on two trips this summer which had him all excited haha

if you don't have a lot of stop and go i can average around 20 to 22 on the highway. if you go the speed limit. other than that i get in the low teens in the city. love the power though. does anyone else love the looks you get from ford owners when you take off from a stop light. lol. i love it when their jaw is in their lap

Love my 1500 5.7L 4x4. Usually get about 16 on the commute (half town and half freeway). Got 19.5 last weekend on a run to Alabama running about 67 average. Just wonder how the TT is going to hit the mileage this summer.

With the gas prices sky rocketing the next month or so I will be going back down to 89 octane.

I think I get worse mileage with MDS on. I am still testing but seems bad.
