I saw some mpg posts, but there isn't one specifically for regular cabs. I'd like to hear from anyone with a regular cab, including any info like gear ratios, 4x2 or 4x4, and suspension set up would be helpful to. Thanks!

2012 with 3.92 gears and all stock. 15-16 mpg driving 80-85 mph freeway with some in town driving too, not a 80 mph though. I'm not sure how you could drive it at 55-65 mph.

Nobody getting in the 20s... I drive all highway and want a good cruising build... I'm thinking Express 4x2 8-speed with 3.21 or 3.55.

4.11 Gear
87mm TB
Y-pipe removed
14" TruX magnaflow dual inlet and outlet

I make a 700 mile round trip every two weeks

Going south 19.5 MPG
Going north 21.2 MPG

Speed just a touch under 70 MPH Anything over 70 it starts dropping fast.

I just installed the 87mm TB and my last trip north was 18.5. I believe it will get better once the PCM recalibrates Air/Fuel ratio and I stop playing with the extra kick I am get from the TB

I average ~17 in the summer and about 15 in the winter.
My driving is always a mix of state road, highway and city.

I had a tank that was purely highway (cruise set at 84ish) that I got 18.
If I recall that was my highest. I need to data-dump onto Fuelly and see just how bad it is. Haha!

I'm shocked but I can get 18-19 mpg if I completely stay out of it.
Normal is 14-15 with a heavy foot mixed with allowing the MDS to kick in.

I wonder what the new 8-speed with 3.21 ratio would put out for mpg highway on a 2wd regular cab... it's gotta be pretty good.
