Nice. Ive gotten a best of 15.8 with my totally stock '06 5.4 Supercab 4x4.

I took a highway trip this weekend doing 65-85 and still got 15.8 which is the best my truck has gotten.

It seems like if Im on the gas or drive easy the mpg is still the same.

are you using the MPG listed on your dash? or calculating it by hand?

if i do anything above 70 my MPG drops off significantly.

I just beat my all-time record on a trip out to northern CO. 23.9 MPG @ 68MPH.

My new tonneau cover is adding almost 2 MPG.

Im calculating it by dividing the miles on the odometer by the gallons I put in.
My truck doesnt have a dash computer.

My 06 Screw XLT I bought last week gave me 16.8 on my first trip over the holiday. About 40 miles around town and 200 miles at 75 MPH.

I was pretty satisfied with that, actually better than my last trip at similar speeds with my 4Runner.

3.55LS 4x4 with tonneau cover.
