My MPG is ..... Not good

I started measuring it in my head once and got scared where that number was trending so I stopped.
I feel that. When a 34 gallon tank barely goes 300 miles, you just kinda stop caring because it hurts to care.

I also own a '17 Suburban and that 31 gallon tank once got me 640 miles and that's awesome.

Rawhide the crew cab long bed got around 12mpg on our recent trip to Austin and back. We were in heavy traffic coming into Austin, and some in downtown Austin the next day. The times we weren't in traffic, we were rolling along, trying to keep from getting run over, at 70-80 mph....
Old truck handled it well though! Very little effort required to get to 80....
'97 C3500, L31 Vortec 5.7, 4L80E, 4.10 rear axle. Stock for now, pretty much original, 125K.....
