Mine gets around 15 mpg in windy highway driving, and around 17-19 interstate no wind. The old body style trucks seem to get better mileage. I think the aero dynamics and tune sucks in the new trucks. The AFM crap does me no good unless going downhill or coasting.

Straight city I'm averaging about 15.5-16mpg. I havn't taken a highway trip with it yet so I don't know what I'll get on the highway. Mine's a 4.8 though, wish I had the 5.3, but they didn't have any in stock and I didn't want to wait for a dealer trade.

I get up to 22 hmy, and what seems like about 16-18 city, but I have done some of the bolt-ons.
I was getting 15 city- 18 hwy stock.
I also have the stock steel 17's, and probably will just get aluminum 17's to keep the mpg high. I drive alot so its very important to me to get the best mpg. last year I did 40K miles just for work.
