That's great gas mileage for a big ride like that.

A lot of the newer big trucks get decent mileage.

Depends on how you drive it.

There are guys on the F150 forums that get 12-14 mpg, because they drive like idiots.

My dad has a newer Chevy Silverado that gets 22 mpg on the highway. It shuts off 4 cylinders when you are at cruising speeds.

I drive like an old man, so that helps too. ;D

I feel you.  I drive like an old man too.   ;D  Zero stress.  No road rage.  Makes the driving experience so much better.  And we have some of the worst traffic in the country in terms of wait times.

The wait times will go down when nobody can afford to drive.
