    Also like to know if it's a one or 2 days job? Like did you drop the vehicle and pick up day or 2 later?
    (So I don't have to use temporary shocks and pay shop for install and remove multiple times)

    20 mpg with steel under the truck, steel on both ends, two spares(one on the carrier), 12k winch, Viper cut and Load E 34s. And stock gearing. Still beat the EPA ;)

    He manually calculated by taking the distance traveled and fuel pump amount in the pic. Wonder if onboard calculator is off due to tire size?

    Yeah, I get that. He got 20.0007 for that particular trip. But show me the overall TANK average. Shit, I can get 23MPG if I take a short trip 12 miles away, assuming the driving conditions are right.

    124.85/6.218 = 20.07. The speedometer is messed up due to larger tires. So following GPS for distance.

    Valid point. But I did get 19 mpg Olympia to Portland and back, and that's more than a tank.

    I would kill for some US priced Arco gas in BC Canada right about now. I'm assuming your suggesting that Arco gas has not had a great price for 3 years

    I like Arco, it is less expensive than others despite being Top Tier rated. I like Shell but they are on the greedy side

    I got about 20.2 going across Washington, through Snoqualmie Pass and back. 700+ miles, 300lbs of stuff, on Blizzaks. I was happy with that.

    Are you stock? I don't think I could get more than 17 on I-90. It is not flat, it is windy and speed limit is 70.

    Yes, 100%. 2011 Limited. That's on cruise control most of the way-minimal wind except crossing Columbia river and some through Olympia.

    Driving around town the best I've done was around 20-21 mpg (going 25-30 mph on flat ground). A segment from my last trip out in Nevada averaging between 60 to 75 mph and keeping the RPMs at/below 2k...its a truck not a sports car.
