I think almost all of us are.
I haven't even seen 12 MPG from a single tank! I have an '03 QC 4x4
4.7L, 3.92 gears and a manual (looks like we're pretty much the same
setup). Checking my spreadsheet....15.88 MPG overall since I got the
truck on February 24. A high of 19.01 and a low of 13.15.
If I keep my speed at 65MPH, I can easily pull a steady 19MPG. I get 14
*around town*.
Now, I have done a lot of long highway cruises this summer (approaching
10K on the truck already, onyl had it 6 months) but even so, I'm seeing
*far* better mileage than I got out of my previous Dak (318/3.55/auto/CC).
Are you going by the overhead computer in the truck, or calculating
miles driven divided my gallons of gas pumped?
