about 80 percent hwy, mds off, crusie set at 68 tire pressure at 37 front 35 rear. homemade cold air intake, with cone routed right behind headlight, and AIT sensor routed farther up the intake tube. city only im getting between 15-16 depending on conditions and time at lights. only premium fuel, full synthetic fluids and i always make sure my breaks are clean and do not drag at all. believe it or not dirty breaks will make a difference
another thing people overlook: alignment.. huge impact..

Dirty breaks will not make any difference at all, now dirty brakes might

2006 1500 QC 4x4 with 20" wheels. I just drove from CT to Maine (225 miles each way) to tow my boat home. The computer read 17.6 for avg MPG on the way up. Towing the boat back (about 5000 lbs) the computer showed 10.1 but when I calculated it was actually 9mpg.
