I don't know what to tell you to try, but I have a similar truck. It
is a '95 SLT CC V6 4x4 Auto with 3.5 gears. When I drive all local
with traffic lights I get 14-16 mph. I drive all highway from NJ to
Richmond ~326 miles, I get 18 mpg driving 70 and 75. This week I got
19 but I think it was a fluke. I have no mods that might affect my
mileage except an Extang Saber Tonneau which really has had no effect
on my trips. I get 18 mpg with and without it.
