I am not getting what I think I should be getting in my truck. I do normal daily driving with minimal stop and go. I drive maybe 20 miles a day. On a half a tank of fuel i cannot get an entire week out of it. During the week all i do is go to work and go home no more no less. Should I be getting better fuel mileage? My truck has around 13000. Should I have it looked at or is this normal?

Thanks!

Do an actual calculation. Fuel gauges are not exactly accurate, so doing a fill up and then doing the math at the next fill up is the only way to see what it is. Depending on where you are and winter blends and such, getting 14-16mpg on back roads would be acceptable.
