on the way home from school i got 490 miles on one tank of gas. i think i could have gotten better had i not had so much crap with me. around town i usually get around 360 miles. i also have the programmer in while driving, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

 

i get lucky if i get 16mpg about 3-- miles

 

On road trips, the best I ever got was around 460-470 on a tank. Normal day to day driving I average 400-415 miles on a tank. That was with a 3.42 gear though.

 

I get 300 miles, maybe less, dont know why it sucks so much gas. (Guess its the lead boot) <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

 

are the 4.8L supposed to get better gas mileage than the 5.3L?

 

In town, about 360-390 miles/tank.

On the hwy, about 430-450/tank.

 

i'm not even gunna post mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

but no the 4.8L are not rated to get better mileage than the 5.3. at least not in 2002.

 

i usually get about 330 for 21 gallons or so.
but thats mostly intown driving.

Hey guys, should have gone with the long bed with big tank. My mileage is about 17.5 but with 34+ gallons, I have gone 620 miles once with over half the miles on the highway. I was in town close to gas for the last 50 miles. I put 34-1/3 gallons in filling up. The tank is listed at 34, but there must be extra somewhere. Only thing is the truck leans to the driverside when full.
