What kind of mileage do you get?

[Birchyboy]

I averaged 9.2 on a 5,600 mile trip with my 4.5k camper, 3 passengers and one fluffy dog last month. I set the cruise at 62 (GPS) and took it easy in the mountains of WV. Fun times until I ran out of gas...in the rain...1 mile before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Nothing a 5 minute walk couldn't fix, though.

Oh yeah, 175k on the original drivetrain and a new B&M cooler. Tranny hovered around 175 most of the time and topped out a 208 or so in the hills.

Just regeared to 4.10 and had a full diff rebuild and all new wheel bearings, getting just over 20 mpg highway now in my 97 5.7 4x4

12.49 mpg yesterday. Interesting, because it was the first tank I actually drove it like a normal person instead of an old man. No change in milage though, actually on the high side for me.

I usually get around 17 but can get a little better or a lot worse depending on driving style.
