The best I've ever gotten was 26 mpg. I had a 40mph sustained tail wind traveling at 75mph lol. Most I get for normal back and forth to work is 16.5mph mostly 55-66mph. The picture is flat freeway cruise control set.

Not really easy for the 09-12 trucks, and some of the '13 models with the 6spd. Most of these guys have the 8spd trans which helps a lot.

Best I've done is 22.5, all pretty flat interstate coming up from FL at 65mph.

2017 1500 5.7L Crew cab Laramie 4x4
30k miles. 32'' tires.

I set my cruise at 60mph with MDS disengaged. Had no cars in front of me. Traveled on flat roads.
I pulled over as soon as I got off the highway and hurried up to take a picture. Just in the time it took to pull over my average speed dropped and my average mpg dropped.

Before taking the picture I was at 24.8mpg and my average speed was 59mph.

If you're going to extreme lengths to get the mileage numbers....They mean nothing.
Drive the way you normally do and tell us those numbers.
Anything else is just ********.

I disagree they do mean something. It means if you drive for milage you can and will get it.
