I do all city driving and get around 13.4. I have a 2015 cc with 5.7 4x4, and 3.21. I typically turn off mds though with the +- because I have a magnaflow and the drop in the engine sound is a joy kill...I did just order my Vararam so let's see how I do after that's put on.

2014 Tradesman RCSB 3.6, 8 speed, 3.21 gears, stock tires, weighs 4,530 pounds (scaled weight)

In town, running the AC full time, I'm averaging 17.4.

Long freeway trips are another matter. I can easily get at or a touch above 25mpg at 70mph, and even as high as 27/28 if the speeds are 55-65.

Towed a 2,000 pound trailer, and bed full of stuff as well, from California to Montana last summer and averaged 20.1mpg on the trip.

One of main reasons I bought the truck was the gas mileage and it has not disappointed. I've owned a dozen pickups of all the makes, from as old as a 1951 F-1 flathead V-8 up, and never seen a full size gas truck do this kind of gas mileage. My 70's and 80's Toyotas gave mileage like this, but they were tin cans and had 95 horsepower 4 bangers.

2012 1500 ST 4x4 and I am getting 19.4! That is a combo of city and highway, I have a 15 minute city commute to work, so I feel that average is fantastic.

Just made my first trip in my 2014 Laramie Limited with the HEMI, Went from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Memphis, Tennessee to spend some time on Beale Street and check out the New Bass Pro Shop in the Pyramid, I average 24.5 mpg cruising at 70mph going and 23.1 mpg cruising at 70 mph coming home. That is way better than what my old Chevy Avalanche did.

Have almost 1700 miles on our 2014 express 4x4; 3.55 gears; 6 speed. The total average is 18.6 since we bought the truck. Drive mostly on the interstate or long stretches of road. the usual average is between 18.5 and 20MPG. Very Very pleased with the truck. Never would had thought it was possible to own a full size that could could get such good MPG.

90% of my day to day driving is in town and I get between 14-16 on stock sized BFG At KO2.

That's about to change when I get my 35" put on in a couple of days.....
