Crew cab on vacation.

Just wanted to see if this about average. I took the CC on vacation to Ocean Isle Beach NC. From our home in No. KY to the beach, it was 638 miles. The truck averaged 19 mpg (near as I can figure) Does this seem about average? I have never really tried to calculate the mpg before, and thought this was a good time to do it.

depending on the gearing you have, yes

Sounds pretty good to me. Best I can get is 15, but that's doin 70-75 on our turnpike, 200 mile trip each way. Never checked my mileage on a normal 60-65 mph trip. You bump those rpm's up over 2 grand and it's gonna suck gas.

best I ever got was just about 20mpg. so, yeah 19 sounds about right.

I average just under 21 mpg doing the 45 miles between Roswell and Artesia NM daily each way at about 75-80mph. Don't ask me how, I'm running 86 octane, 30 inch tires, 3.42 gears, and I have 120,000 miles on the clock.

Hey Border,

They just love New Mexico... Mine is getting around 20 mpg before I started 'mods'... Now I'm getting better power response and don't seem to be losing any mileage.
