I average about 15.5-16 mpg city driving and 18.5-19.5 mpg hwy (@75-80 mph). I've gotten as good as 21-22 mpg (@65-70 mph). Seems like it goes down a couple mpg if I run anything less than 91 octane. I have a 2wd LQ9 on 265/70/17s and 3.73s.

Hmmm , glad to hear some decent numbers on HWY.
My van gets 12-12.5 , short commute to my current job site , haven't had enough hwy time to calculate . All stock , going to do a tune soon.
My truck is never driven easy enough to see lol , just sounds too damn good !
