I have tracked the milage since buying the truck, I am at 2,500 miles. I have a 2wd CC with big tow. On the highway at 60 - 75 mph I run 15 - 16 mpg. In town at 20 - 35 mph with many stops and starts on short trips I run about 11 - 12 mpg. Towing a light (3,500#) boat at 50 - 65 mph I get about 13.5 mpg.

I see others getting MUCH better milage than me. Some may be the KC versus CC, but I cannot explain all the difference.

I have always understood the EPA numbers were under ideal and not realistic conditions, and were OK to compare vehicle to vehicle, but unrealistic for the driver to obtain.
