Actually Craig, my truck has the same drivetrain, but with 3.55 gears (i
don't know what you have) and a slightly lower stance. I was able to
average 23.7mpg round trip (all highway) to the DML BBQ at about 85 - 90 mph
with an open bed. I'm running the superchips flash though, so that might
make a difference.
