Just did a 320 mile trip in my truck a week ago
14.7 mpg doing 75~
2002 qc 4x4 with 200k miles on the 5.9 magnum, sitting on 305/70/17 Nitto terra grapplers.
When the truck had 170k on it, drove it to Kentucky, avg 70mph, got 18.2 mpg on that trip. Only difference was it had a 305/55/20 terra grappler on it, and 30k less miles.
In the city I avg. 10, which is exactly what the meter uptop says, and even the instant one reads damn near perfect on my truck even when you break it down by good ol pen and paper.

I never had a GPS when i had my 35s but i could tell the speedo was off, Now that i have a SC tune with out the Tunner its off by about 5, ill be doing 60 and GPS says 65ish and its messed with my overhead a little bit mpg wise
So I filled my tires to 35.5-36 PSI on all fours (I was at roughly 30.5 on all fours... :0) and this obviously had a positive effect on my mileage.
I am doing 11 MPG in town and I dunno on highway. I would guesstimate 22 MPG. Shame on me for not having proper pressure!
