On a good flat road if I keep it at 65 or under it gets 23 to 24, that's only 2 mpg less then my Chevy Colorado. This is going by the mpg readout I haven't checked by hand.

Also on paper the v8 is only about $800 dollars more but in reality they are going for several thousand more because of the demand. Frankly I'm impressed by how much power my truck does have.
