If I drive any softer or easier, I would never go over idle speed in gear. Front tires are front 42 psi (44 psi tires) and 40 psi rear. Any higher in the rear produces tire squeals when turning right.
I was talking to John M...your mileage doesn't seem too bad to me. You have a huge heavy 4x4 truck with big wheels...you can't except great mpg with a gasser. It'll more than likely get a little better as you put miles on her but I wouldn't expect a night and day difference. If you slack on maintenance down the road it will get worse though.
+1, Turn O/D off in town. Fyi And set air psi to placard in door jam, not whats written on the tire.
I'm getting about the same mpg with same exact truck, except I only have 185 miles on it.
ya, milage is pretty bad in these things, expecially city driving. 6000lb truck and a 6000lb foot. i am planing on turbo charging mine as soon as i can, hopefully that will fix my milage prob.

More power=more fuel...gotta pay to play man. If you're worried about mpg then FI is the last thing you want..
