We use to get 20 out of our 06, but we are perfectly flat here, near sea level and rarely below 30*. Speed was mostly under 70.

Now with the 2011 we are getting 21.2, or whatever fuelly says. I have the entire fuel life logged in fuelly. I get better mileage with the AC off. The trip computer does not change when we have the bed loaded with feed bags but does drastically when the trailer is behind it empty or loaded.
Tire are set at 32, 5w20 and 0w20 have made no difference. No lift, running boards, roof rack or bed cover. I use cruise every where and I do take off quickly getting up to speed. I have put the tach near the top a few times. I think the best mileage was 24+ coming from Atlanta to Savannah in the early spring time.

It is my daily driver and has been for the last year and half. My commute is 15 miles each way with 5 red lights, 2 stop signs and 2 railroad crossing each way. The last 4.5 miles in the morning are city, as is the first in the evening.

Since this post, I haven't changed anything and believe it or not I've been able to get 2 tanks of fuel. (1 was strictly highway) at 17.0-17.5 MPG!

I'm pretty excited, I don't know if it has to do with the weather changing and it being colder so more horses. None the less, the only thing I changed was I drove like normal, not beating on the throttle but not taking it easy either.

I will continue logging MPG, and trying little things until I find the best mixture. I do appreciate all of the suggestions though!
If you are going to log information, trying joining fuelly and log it there and you can see your mileage trends at look at your good and bad.
