I used to get 21+ in my RCSB cruising 75-80mph on the highway(90%highway mileage). It had and still has 30"+ tall tires and 3.42 gears. Lately I can't get over 18 though. It dropped last winter and never recovered for some reason, never figured that one out.

Mine is a little weird... I average around 17-18 driving 75. When I bump it up to 85, I get 19-20.
The only thing I can figure out is that at 85, the engine is in it's powerband and is running more effecient. BTW, I have 3.42s and I average 20K miles a year. Most are on the interstate.

On a full tank of gas which is a 26 gallon tank I went from Virginia Beach, Va to Bristol, Pa which is 298 miles according to yahoo drining directions(just for the mileage info) I made it there on less than half of a tank on a average speed of 70 mph (if I go any faster my wife bi%$hes at me) It takes 5 hours. So 298mi/13gal = You do the math
