    04.5 with 6 speed and 4.10's short box 2wd gets 21 at 70mph with cruise on and 16 in town. i get 12.5 when towing my big heavy windblocker trailer, but its rare i go over 60mph then. all hand calculated. also i am running 315's so thet helps a bit. might hurt towing, have yet to tow my 32 footer with them. didnt make a difference with the small things i have towed.

    Haven't we had this question before? I get about 20mpg. Mostly highway but now that winter is here it has gone down especially plowing but that’s to be expected :)

    Hwy running lite 18-19 at 68mph, better slower

    Towing; 9.5 to 13.5 depending of speed and gear. Best milage in overdrive at 62-63, 11. Fifth gear at 55mph 13-13.5.

    Most people I know pulling similar loads as me with 4:10's at 65 average around 12-13 mpg.

    12 and sometimes 10mpg in town driving like a Jackass.
