08 Power Wagon, Hemi, 5 spd auto, 4.56 gears, last tank 8.8 mpg, combination of all city short trips(50%) and towing 7000 lbs to local campground (50%). Pretty much what I expected. The towing is almost the same mpg as city driving, when I get on the highway the towing goes up to about 12 mpg, without towing the hiway is about 14.
Still just breaking in at 2200 miles, too early to tell if I got the magic truck or the sour lemon in terms of mileage.

13.6 on average with city/hwy driving. Usually on highway I drive 70mph. Went to Austin this past week and my digital read out said 18.8. Haven't refilled and checked for sure, but my computer has NEVER read that high....we'll see.

I'm running right at 2000 rpm @ 70 with 3.92 gears and 20" wheels/tires

As a result of my leveling kit and new shoes, mostly, I have gone from 20+ on the highway to 16.5

haha 20+ whats that like 20.1 mpg, i usually get about 18-19 hwy, even hit 22 going down to corpus but the drive is an 800 ft decline so get a lil help from gravity

did you do the leveling and tires at the same time or did one come first, any mpg stats with just the one mod?


Highduke are you towing 2 cars behind you for that city mpg? lay off the pedal man lol
