welcome to the dak section, as for the mileage, i rarely get under 17 to the gallon, on the highway i hit the cruise at 65 drive in the slow lane and get a good 22-24 to the gallon, also i need to run the hightest because of the upgrades. the grade of gas you use could be the problem, also now that winter is coming the gas people put all the other crap in it for the season, which makes you lose mileage.

I am right around superdak for mileage, and we seem to have a similar strategy for cruse.
The tire you run can really help or hurt your mileage... the soft compound your running right now is certainly not helping. a harder tire with a less than aggressive tread pattern can gain you a lot of mileage. make sure they are inflated to the highest recommended pressures.
but like everyone is saying, drive slower and plan stops... it should turn around.
