My BURB with 3.42 gears 4X4 and the 01 DMAX/ALLY combo would get right around 18-19 with stock tuning running 70. My current tune that I have in the library was just getting 22+MPG running 70, but dropped to about 19.5 running 75. I consistently average 18-20MPG with mixed driving that includes alot of very short trips. So far my worst tank has been 12.4MPG, but that was driving it like a FERRARI and towing fairly heavy.

21.7 average since new. As high as 23+ in the summer at 70 or so on the highway.
Reg cab long bed, 4x4, ZF6.

As of yet, I have increased my average to 18.5mpg. Still not as high as I would like, but getting there.

'01 CC, LB, 2wd, lifted with 285's. Cruise set at 70mph I get 17mpg on a 340 mile highway driving round trip. I'd suppose it would be better if I dropped the speed by 5 mph but then ALL the cars pass me!
