You are assuming i must have been born yesterday and don't have common sense. And I am assuming by your comment you are about 16 years old.

The internet is a bad place for thin skin. Didnt assume anything. I simply read what u wrote. If you are going by the display, you don't really know the mileage and the thread is pointless till you calculate it properly. Ah if only i were sixteen again.

Soon as I run a tank of gas through it i'll report back. I just figured the display was probably pretty close because every other number appears to be accurate.

Filled the tank, drove a little over 200 miles, refilled and I averaged 16.8 MPG. Less than 5 miles were expressway. The rest were pretty much city driving.

There you have it. You're getting better mileage than me and I have the same truck. Atlanta traffic is horrendous.
