    Mine has been slowly climbing up to 14.6 hwy/city mix since I bought it to about 1400-1500 miles. The transmission's ECU needs to learn how you drive and make it past the break in period. With the summer fuel coming I hope I can get it up to 16 before knocking it down with lift/tires.

    My truck is a 14 with 49,000 miles. I do a lot of driving. With my leveling kit and 33s I was getting 14.2, now with this new lift kit I haven't had it long enough to get an accurate MPG. When I first got the truck all stock was 16.8. Id say theres something wrong, that's bad MPG unless you have a really heavy foot.

    Basically stock
    Non-ethanol fuel will give you better fuel economy. You have to find the sweet spots for driving... I feel like over 65 the mpgs start to drop. With 3" leveling kit and 295/70r18 nittos I got 14mpg running 70ish through mountains in NC and TN this past weekend. In SC where it's mostly flat I was closer to 16mpg. If I get on it a lot around town I get 11mpg. I do have a 4" Banks cat back exhaust though

    Yeah dude, something's up. My last 4 tanks after the 6" lift and 35 M/T's added I saw my number dip a bit. My first tank was at 14.9 (yikes) and the one after that 15.1

    I went back to the shop and got them to do a no kidding, take your time, get the alignment spot on kind of job. The two tanks following the alignment were both at 16 on the money.

    Driving habits are crucial to mpg as well. I tend to coast whenever I can. I use the cruise control, even in town when I can. Anticipate traffic lights. I tend to drive like I don't have brakes as well.

    Check all your fluids...at 44k, your are more than likely due for dif fluid changes (don't forget center dif as well). Plugs, pcv, filters. MAF...I even clean the throttle body itself very 15k or so miles.

    Tire pressures can be crucial too.

    Let us know if you've gotten anything better and what you did

    EDIT: Make sure you're accounting for different tires size from stock as well when crunching your mpg. Larger tires log LESS miles actually travelled in the odometer. If you're tire difference was 10% greater than stock, let's say, then your mileage will be off by roughly the same amount. On a 400 miles trip on the odometer, you would have ACTUALLY driven 440 mi
