Air pressure in your tires can make a huge difference too. If my tires drop to 37 psi, my fuel mileage can drop a couple miles per gallon. I try to always keep them aired up over 40 psi.

I can't get much above 18 on highway, even with cruise on. And I have a 5.7L e-torque engine, with 3.21s and stock 22" tires. Nothing close to the 22 mpg advertised - about 20% less. I average 15.6 around town, and try to drive it more cautiously than my last truck just to see if it will improve. I have a little over 5k miles on the truck.

I have also done my first oil change, and went full synthetic. I was surprised that synthetic isn't stock.

Truck seemed to start slowly breaking in and get better mpg after 7500mi.

2019 Laramie with 3.92’s and I fluctuate between 12.8-13.6 mpg depending on driving conditions. I haven’t reset the the meter since I bought the truck so I need to do some testing on my next fill up. Right now she has 700 miles on her running 89 octane from shell.

I have a 19 Laramie 5.7 with 3.21 gears and I have average 15-16 mpgs. I have a mild (30 mins) commute that's between city and driving in NH. Best I have yet to get is 18.5. No mods yet either.

Slightly better than mine. I'm getting about 14 all round and 18 hwy with a LTD. Not what I expected given the quoted #s. Hell my Discovery got better. So did the Tundra for that matter.

I got 22.5mpg with cruise control on, but that's just no fun at all lol. I just can't keep my foot out of it, so think I'm around 11.3 now lol.
