Holy cow you guys all get great mileage! I have an 06 lbz 6.6l with a 6" procomp lift, 20" rims and 33" Toyo's on it. It has AFE stage 2 intake, Mbrp turbo back exhaust, and a Edge w attitude chip in it! I am getting 12mpg/hand calculated and on the gauge empty! What is wrong with my truck?

I get about 16/19 city,and 22/24 highway.And up to 26 on trips to california.Shankster one of the reasons you most likely are getting low milage is because your running larger tires on your truck so your engine has to work more to get the truck moving.And it also depends sometimes on your driving pattern.

You didn't say if you recalibrated your speedometer or not, but if you haven't done so, that will make your mileage seem even worse than it is. Taller tires will make your odometer see fewer miles traveled, which in turn throws your hand calculations off. If your speedo is correct, then you can blame it on the lift, tires, and the weight of your right foot.
