These 2 are the only ones I can actually comment about.

Driving style has a huge effect on mileage. So you probably just aren't consistently driver grandma'lly the whole time or aren't driving jackassed'lly enough to be on either side of the spectrum.

You should try windows up A/C off.

I can pretty much guarantee driving like a jackass most all the time...jackass being leadfooted.

Driving like Grandma for 2 tanks was the longest, SLOWEST 2 weeks of my life, lol.

As for windows UP, ac OFF...no way dude. I break into a sweat eating a cheesesteak sub so that'll never happen.

Man, that's some crazy ****...I know that I can get better MPG's if I drive like grandma, and with the AC off. Your truck is a freak man!
