I'm getting 9.5-10.5 (according to my trucks overhead display) 100% city driving, 3 inch lift, 4.10 gears, and 33" all terrains. I took off my air dam for more "lift" too haha. My speedo is on the dot when I compared to gps on my phone and mile markers on the interstate. Anyway I can get in the 12 range???

 

Not with 33" tires and doing 100% city driving you wont....

 

Get a car lol

Sounds like a cop out answer. But lets be real here, you'll never get good mpg

Buy a 500 dollar beater and leave it on the side of the ride where it dies lol take the tags with you. Then you can enjoy your truck more and not have to try and baby it

 

That's precisely what I did...it was a little more than 500 bucks but I got a pretty decent deal on an 03 tracker....4x4 and 22 mpg around town, cant beat it.

 

^ I need to do that lol. I'm getting 10.0 right now according to my iphone app. It keeps going down and down every time I fill it up.

 

If I baby it I get like 10.5 if I drive er like I stole it get like 9.5 haha. I only drive like 200-250mi a week, so it doesn't hurt too bad

 

Even with 4.10s, seems to me you should be able to do better than that....... My truck does better than that.... and its a 2500.....

 

I'm on 3.55's with 265-75-R16's and get in the high 13's (could get 14 if I was nice to it).
32 mile each way to work, sections of start-stop, and sections of 75mph.

This sort of driving would have got me 15-16mpg in 1998 when the truck was new, but 16yrs and 164,000 miles later, I think this is about as good as I'll get.

 

I get 12-14MPG with 70 Highway/30 City.

 

Hauled a couple of fairly heavy loads yesterday. Didn't actually check mileage, but from watching the fuel gauge I was getting big block muscle car mileage by driving in 3rd with no TCC lockup.
50-55 mph, bad solenoid.
