I'm getting about 13-14 right now in my light *** truck, so get ready to **** and moan about that expensive *** gas!!!!! I finally talked my company out of a work truck and gas, so I'm only filling up about 1 every 2 weeks now. I still take it out every other night to run the crap out of it though.

what am i doing right? my ecsb 5.3 gets me 19.5 when i treat it right, which has only happened once. im sure i could do better if i was on the 3.42's. that was all freeway with the tailgate dropped. im guna have to treat it good again one last time to see what i get with the new e-fans and exhaust.

I think gears are a bigger determinant of gas mileage than motor size. For cruising 75-80 mph, 3.73's are the best, 3.42's are a close second, and 4.10's are the worst.
