Well said cody, my truck is capable of over 20mpg but as said you need to drive it like you want it, heck i've got 19 mpg on my last two trips and that was climbing mountain grades up and down..

Obviously my truck is lighter than others(about 7k) so I can get better fuel mileage easier..

I'll throw in my simple tips if thats okay.. common sense: keep it below 2K RPM's.. if possible... this is about 70mph for those of you with 3.73's.

Accelerate easily.. I know that can be hard..

And lastly braking wastes energy..brake earlier and not so hard maybe you wont have to come to a complete stop(say a red light turns green before you get to it).

And oh yeah inflate your tires!!!! :P thats bout it.
