Default What mpg is your beast of a truck getting?

Saw this thread on the 1st gen dodge section and I was curious about people 2nd gens mpg. And whatever youve done to bump up your performance too.

So I have a 5.2L V8 2wd, Auto trans, 3.92 axle ratio, <-hahaha oops 3.92 not 2.92
- Hypertech Max energy programmer,
- spectre performance intake
- 3 inch body lift 2 inch level.
- 245/75/16 tires (at the moment).

Id say 95% city 5% highway and my mpg is all over the place, one point 267Miles/19Gal = 14mpg then 220Miles/19Gal = 11.5. I should probably get that check engine light fixed. lol, Anyway how about you?
