Drove to Grand Juntion and back, today -- a trip of 220 miles -- and put the cruise control on 55 mph. Averaged 18. 6 mpg during the trip, with about a third of that mixed city driving and the rest highway (I-70).
The truck is now fitted with a Warn 16,000 winch strapped to an ARB bumper (which ain't "aerodynamic"), so I'm pretty sure this rig will crack 20 mpg on long trips when we're into summer fuel situations and warmer temps. Still in the low twenties at night here in the mountains, and still pumping winter fuel.
Truck just turned 900 miles on the odometer.
