My miles are strictly city, A/C on and have not yet passed 3000 rpm's during break-in period.

I will be towing my racecar this weekend so it I am anxious to see how it does and what kind of mileage I get. I hope everyone that says the gas mileage will improve over time are right.
Stricktly city with the AC on, i'd say 13.x is decent, that's about what I have gotten when I drive city only for a tank. it takes a lot of fuel to get the truck moving!

If I'm just on the highway I set my cruise and go, just did 50 miles of all freeway and with the cruise set at 78 got 18.9mpg and it was still raising every couple of miles from when I accelerated to get on the freeway... this would drop very quickly as soon as I had to accelerate away from a few stopligts though...
