How fast are you going on the highway? Also what is the RPM at that speed.

That is about what I get on the same truck. It sits in the shop hooked to my boat and I drive a Hyundai for running around. It gets 35mpg. The truck is a '03 with less than 50k miles.

I run 70mph and the tac is sitting at 1.5. the old truck run 1.75 at 70 on the open road and got a lot better milage 20 mph. hind sight should have kept it and run it till the wheels fell off. we took a trip to Del Rio and on that long haul it almost got 22 it was 21.7 the old truck that is.
