The best I ever got was 22.8 and that was when I moved out to Oklahoma... now granted I had my fat ass, my 2 basset hounds, a bed full of all of my stuff (clothes, tools, guns etc) , and I was rolling on 32" at's with 4.10 gears, it was kinda of a fluke though, I dunno how I got that good of mileage, **** now Im getting like 14

Is there a huge difference between the fuel mileage in a 2wd 5speed and a 4wd 5speed when the 4wd is not engaged?

(that is assuming that these don't have full time 4wd...)

There's at least a 5+ mpg difference if the engine's are the same. You have to take into account the transfer case is spinning and the 4x4's usually have lower gears, and larger tires from factory, PLUS the extra weight of the front axle and transfer case and driveshaft.

And the height difference too. Gotta factor in all the air that's getting under the truck and catching on all the parts down underneath.

being tall is fun tho, worth the loss in mileage

------------
Anyways
is that city, highway, or combined mileage; if city, holy **** thats great; highway, could be doing something better; combined, that sounds just about right.
