No I think it is right on track. That's about average. Now enjoy yourself.

In order to change your mpg, you have to change your driving habits. I only get 11-13 and mine is a deleted reg cab.

You can get 20 mpg if you coast downhill. I just drove 1,800 miles round trip averaging about 90 mph and I hand calculated 17.2 mpg. Tuned and straight piped.

I wish I could see 16mpg. I can only get that on the highway. With everyday driving I'm lucky to see 12 mpg. Deleted, tuned with H & S, cold air intake, and running stock tires. I'd love to get great mpgs, but I really don't think it's going to happen.

16 mpg is very good fuel economy for the 6.4.

my truck is lovin this cooler weather (lower 60*s) and mild humidity. i got 16.9 mpgs for the whole tank 75% hwy driving towing the boat a couple times and hauling a few loads.
