Mine's an itty-bitty in comparison:

2000 Ford Explorer, 4.0 SOHC V6, automatic, 3.55 rear-end, 2WD

Normal city mileage approx 17-18mpg

Normal highway mileage approx 21-22mpg

Towing mileage approx 14-16mpg, but I'm not hauling a huge boat - just an 18' CC. Best feature is the car loan - there is none, as it's PAID FOR! \:\)

I think "some" of you guys are full of *&%^, I agree with the comment about "the 2 things a guy will lie about". I have had a new 1998 Chevy p/u, a new 2000 chevy p/u, a new 2002 chevy p/u, a new 2004 dodge diesel, and now a new 2006 dodge diesel. Almost everybody I ask got or gets better mileage than I do. There is no way I can be that unlucky and have the worst mileage truck ever built from that manufacturer for that particular year, and before you say something about my driving style that is a bunch of [censored] too, I have not had a speeding ticket in over 13 years nor an accident, so don't tell me it is my driving style.

Year Make, and Model of Vehicle? 2006 Dodge 2500 quadcab

Diesel or Gas? Diesel

Size of Engine? 5.9L

Type of Transmission? Auto

Rear End Ratio? 3.73?

2WD or 4WD? 4wd

Average MPG? 16.2 (hand calculated every tank)

MPG while towing? 14.4 (hand calculated)

I hate to tell you rodbender it is your driving habits, I can get anywere from 10 to 20mpg out of my truck while empty, driving habits have all to do with it. My dad hasnt had a speeding ticket or accident in over 20 years, and I get better mpg on average than he does in it.

She ain't as pretty as she once was, but 19 years (come June 1, 2008) without any payments (except insurance) covers a lot of ugly.

I'm looking at getting a 1992 - 1996 Oldsmobile wagon (1992 on that), Buick Roadmaster wagon, or a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham to save on gas...They tow 7,000 lbs if equipped right, so might be worth it....Sometimes you gotta think outside the box, right? However, I'll never get rid of Big Red \:\)

Hmmm a supercharged v-8 throwing up better numbers than just about anything out there, I dont buy it. Do you live at the top of a mountain and only check it at the bottom?

2005 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab

5.3 V8

Automatic

4:10 Gears

I'll get 17-18 driving 60-65 and
I'll get 16 driving 70

I average about 16.5 every fill up.

Pulling a boat I'll get around 13-15 going 60.

I found that 60 mph is the magic number for optimal fuel mileage for my truck.

My mpg never changes in the Hummer, but it is just used for towing now. It pulls so well I have to remind myself I am
pulling something.
