Mine gets 13.8 if you drive from light to light traffic. .But if you drive on Highways like Rt 13 and US 40 with red lights and normal traffic I get 15.0. I don't travel on Interstates only because of the high volumne of traffic. So When we do, I usually get 17.0+on a long trip. But I don't do that very often. If I have to make a long trip ,I use my Customized PT Cruiser ,and it get's 30 to 32 mpg on regular.. When I bull my Boat I only loose about two miles per Gallon. On the PT forums I've been reading about replacing the air in the tires for Nitrogen.. Some places do it without even telling us. Cost about $2.50 extra per wheel.A couple of things that help's me with better mileage is, pump up the tires to 40 pounds. And if you know the light is a long one, I put the truck in Park. Until it changes. It works on the Hybrids gas mileage should start to drop soon, Te rfineries are changing the gasolines over to winter grades. More Butane and MTBE.. Helps the air but kills the mileage..

I got 19.8 on highway in my Daytona with the 3.92's in the rear, and a 5mph headwind... pretty nice considering I got the truck expecting to be getting around 11 the whole time. I constantly get around 17-17.5 in the city too, and i dont even have 450 miles on the truck yet.
My '95 1500 kills me tho... with my mods and stuff i have to run premium to avoid pinging, lemme tell ya... gettin around 11-12 mpg on that while having to pay around $3.50 a gallon for premium... is almost enough to make a grown man cry.

Best I received in my 2003 quad cab 4x4 with 20's and the HEMI was 16.something on a roundtrip from Cleveland to Atlanta.
My sister managed a little over 20 MPG driving her old(she now has a Cummins) 2003 Quad Cab 2WD with a HEMI and WITH a LOADED car trailer on her way back to Texas. I was amazed
These numbers are from the overhead console as well. I have done the calculations for my truck and the overhead console is fairly accurate.

Solved my gas mileage problems,I filled up the truck two weeks ago and Then I parked it. I bought a used 92 oldsmoble 2.3 engine with only 36,000 on it. I've been driving the Olds ever since. Only problem is I can't find a seat belt extender for it.

I have an 02 QC with the 5.9L engine.
I have seen my MPG increase since I put new tires on.
Right now, I have a 35 mile roundtrip commute. 23 Hwy miles at 60 MPH and the rest city.
Right now I am getting almost 16 MPG...

I don't drive mine much anymore to worry about mileage. Can't afford the gas. I paid $700 one month and then $500 the month after so I went a bought a little Vibe for daily driving. Now when I drive it I dont have to worry about it and beat the **** out of it at every light. haha!! gas prices!! Now for a supercharger!
