Default What Gas Mileage Do You Get?

I've been stumbling around throughout the Dakota section of the forum, and have noticed a wide range in MPG. I personally have a 03 Quad Cab w/air intake and dual exhaust running at 14-17 MPG in town/light highway and recently maxed at 21 MPG on pure highway.

before any modifications, I was getting 11-14 mpg... is this normal?
How many MPG do you get?

15.4 MPG since I moved to the mountains of Utah. 18.2 when I lived on the sandbar called Florida. I ran the air most of theyear in FL, not so much here in UT.

marchant- your poor mileage is probably due to the fact that you have a 3.9 in a quad cab. I usually get about 18-21 mpg with probably around 70%highway 30%city. i dont baby it either.

Yea, I was almost certain of that. I've just heard a lot of extreme cases and mechanic buddies have been baffled as to why I get the mileage I do, so I figured I would give it a little comparison. Thanks guys.
