I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on here but I couldn't find it, so...
What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? I get around 21-22 and my truck only has 500 miles on it and hasn't even broken in yet, so the mileage might improve even more. But, I wanna hear from you guys. Mileage?

I've taken it over 400 miles on a tank (22.5 mpg). But to do that you gotta be traveling at high elevations (from 6K to 9K feet). That might be due to either the fuel/air ratio or the thinner air (I always attributed it to the thinner air because I've gotten better mileage up that high in any vehicle I drive...25 mpg on my 1980 RX7, 25 mpg on my 1972 RX2, etc).

Average summer driving is more likely to be around 20 mpg (doing around 70 mph with hills) and this time of year when it's in 4wd most of the time in the snow and running the defroster with lots of short trips where the engine is always cold, can be down around 17.
