Bad milage

Is it just me or is this really bad milage? I'm hoping that this is because
the truck is still new, and it will get better as it breaks in. I have a
2001 Dakota CC 4X4, 4.7L, auto, 3.55 LSD, P265/70R16 tires. The truck has
1000 Km on it and I'm on my 4th tank of gas. Milage to date is:

11.5 MPG 8.64G/100

4.9 Km/L 20.3 L/100

I estimate about 80Uity and 20 1987015280ghway up to this point. I'm not driving
it that hard as I'm still letting it break in, however I do step on it from
time to time.

On a side note, I'm going to put Amsoil synthetics in the engine, tranny,
and diff's at 10,000 Km. Can anyone tell me which they use in their truck
(0W30, 5W30, 20W50, and 75W90 or 80W90 in the diffs)?

Thanks for the help,
Mike
