I have a 4x4 CC auto 4.7 with 3.55's and the 31's (tires), with about 5k on
it now. Around town very conservative 11.8, Highway/Town mix 12, Country
road 1.5 hour drive w/hills 16, all Highway 17-18 (maybe more I have seen
the spontaneous MPG sit at 23 for a good 5 minutes), 500 mile highway trip
pulling heavy snowmobile trailer through highway hill's 10 (note on this
one, buddy's Ferd F150 w/5.4 pulling lighter enclosed trailer on same trip,
9).... These are are all with the OH console which is very accurate. I saw
the DTE (destination till empty) go down to 1 mile on a highway trip, I was
able to get 21 gallons in the tank at that point.
