So far according to the trip meter built in, I am getting 9.2 MPG. I am not sure if this is 100% accurate as I am not sure the dealer recalibrated the speedo after installing lift and tires. Guy I bought it from said they did the install so I am going to see if I can get the to retune it under warranty.

if I conserve at 60-65 mph I get upwards of 19+ on a tank commutting 40-45 miles one way each day.
if I don't at 70-80 mph I get 16 even all the time
if I am sick of commutting and I am at my perceived max speed without increased risk of tickets at 80-85 I will get 15 even.

And on a few occasions when the wind is at my back I have gotten 22+ but that was with 40-50kt tail winds.

I was taking some pics of my truck before I put the lift kit on next weekend, and left the front end lowered all the way just to see how it rode on the highway. Well I drove 70 miles last night, and averaged about 21mpg!!! I've never had that much. Usually 19mpg is the most I get on the same trip with the front leveled. It's amazing what a little aerodynamics can do!
