That actually sounds about right...I usually get 13 mpg or so if I don't baby it and stay off the interstates. Try unloading, hopping on the highway, and setting the cruise to 65-70 mph and see what happens....I bet, not even broken in, you'll get 16 mpg or so.

What about a tuner vs. a chip. the jet chips sound good, but I've heard tuners are the way to go. Any available for the red-headed stepchild of pick up trucks?

Well I'm not sayin they're right one way or another, theres no way to tell unless you owned the truck urself.

I think you'll find that the ones getting the best mpg are the ones that have modded their trucks some, or just drive like a granny. Getting 16-17 mpg in a totally stock truck is pretty average.

rookie, just let your truck break in some....the mpg's will go up. Also, you can try shifting around 2000 rpms for a tank or two to see how it responds. I have a manual, too, and that's right about where I shift and get 16-17 mpg.

Eric...get that Charger...those are sweeeeeeeet cars. Would've been a close 2nd choice if the whole Dakota deal hadn't worked out. What year 'stang do you have?

i'm not really complaining. I know milea5ge depends mostly on how much youpush the gas. Shifting early feels pretty good in this truck; plenty of low end. go fas r save gas, one r d other!
