My last 500 mile trip I averaged 17-18. Probably could have had above 20 if my pedal wasn't made out of depleted uranium.

Last trip (312 miles) I averaged 18.6 mpg pulling my off-road trailer. Mostly highway, but about 20 miles on duty roads going from 4800ft to 10,700ft in elevation avg back. I definitely need to consider regearing which won't help the fuel economy, but it will sure handle the climb a lot better!!

Best I've managed is 22MPG. If I keep the cruise set at 70 for most of the tank I get about 21. Tested over a 2,500 mile trip.

I've been averaging around 22mpg with a mix of highway and city driving... My liberty was something like 12mpg though.. What I get for not regearing when I changed to 245/75's though and running M/T's as a daily driven tire.

So many variables involved. Yeah, between 20-21 on flat highway. Anything else is in the teens. During the winter with winter gas and more ideling with the heater/defroster on......forgetaaaabooooutit ....LOL.

I've gotten 21-22 on a long trip in the winter. Lately been struggling to get 20 on the trip to my fish in spots (used to easily get 21).

Back and forth to work I get 14 or so on a good day, but I have a two mile drive from home to work (make it 3 times a day), so I'm sucking during the week.

I rarely leave a 2 mile radius of my house since my gym and work are 2 minutes away so my mileage ***** but I rarely ever actually have to fill up

Should just run to the gym if it's that close...good warm up and saves money on gas. But don't listen to me, I'm a hypocrite that drives the 2 miles to work every morning for PT lol

Pre-SFA(4.10's,265/75's,and weighing 5500lbs) I could get just shy of 22mpg's at 78mph,dropped to 15-16mpg's trying to do 65mph.Post-SFA,well that's a different ballgame but I can get 17-18mpg's at 65mph(same rpm as doing 78mph with SFA).
