I'm averaging 20 MPG mixed driving pretty consistently. This thing is driving me nuts with it constantly getting 20 or right there no matter how I drive it. I have gotten as high as right at 23 though before. PPE's timing in the lower MM3 of fuel is a tad low for the best milage.

18-19 depending on my driving, this may improve with a couple issues I corrected. I figure with a 4x4 dually I can't complain...

16.6 mpg over the last 11,702 miles in 18 months. That is mixed city and highway with minimal towing. Interesting thing is, and the reason I started keeping careful track, I was averaging a touch over 19 mpg 11,000 miles ago and there has been a very steady decline. Haven't figured it out. Changed air and fuel filters, tires are good and properly inflated, no changes to where or how I drive it. Total mileage is 70k. It is a mystery. Truck is bone stock.

I'm getting about 16.5 (hand calc) - averaging 30-35 MPH per the DIC. I gave up a couple MPG between going from worn tires to new ATs, and putting on the ladder rack (over-cap model, hangs out beyond the cab:(). I run the sixgun on 2 or 3 and drive like an old fart mostly.

With a Bully Dog on Performance, cold air and a 4" Turbo back it got 22ish driving on the street. 26 going down a highway at 80MPH!! according to the diplay on the dash..

Hand check it and I bet you are closer to 18-20 going down the highway. The DIC is notoriously false in stock form, and when you tune it is almost guarranteed to be off. I know my wifes G6 is off 12% straight from the factory, and have heard it is optimistic by about 10% in most all of them.
