I have gone 600 mi. in mine without running out but, most of the time 500-525 with the 35 gallon tank. 525 is 15 mpg.All short trips is 425-475 mi.

well I just got this truck so im driving nice and like I said I drove all hwy at 60-65mph.

It kind of funny it sound to good to be true to you guys but sound like crap mileage to me but like most ofus we didnt by a truck to get mileage or to (pukeinmymouthalittle) GO GREEN lol!

we will see what I get with this next tank Im going to drive normal, and put a extra gallon in the back and am drivin er bone dry!
ANd I know running it low is not the best thing to do(for the record).

279 driving hard 440 (best ever)taking it easy. 1500 ext cab 2wd. 196K I would shoot 15 gallons in every few days if I were you.

Actually if I were you I would get the gauge fixed.

I'm driving stop and go traffic in Los Angeles and I normally get about.... 220 miles before the light comes on. And with the crazy prices of gas out here in Los Angeles I have to drive from full to empty to strech my dollar.[:'(]
