With my 6" lift, 33" tires, and relatively heavy foot, I get 18mpg with 50/50 city/highway. Haven't ever done a straight highway tank, so cant comment on that. But if I'm offroading my truck a lot or doing a lot of work around town, the worst mileage I've seen was just shy of 15mpg I think... like 14.5 or 14.7 or something.
