Our QC is still new, just passed 3K miles. 4.7 and the 5sp auto. We're
getting 18-20 around town, 20-24 hwy. I expect these numbers to go up as
the truck gets closer to 15K miles, when I feel it will be totally broken
in. The bed tonneau cover helps, I think. Maybe you've got a leadfoot
problem? :-)
