I averaged about 22mpg on the highway for the trip. It took just a little more than one tank for the 500 or so miles. My Scangauge II predicted around 480 highway miles per tank of gas on 87 octane. Not too shabby.

65 to 70.
I have a 4x4 with the TT/SL lift and bigger tires, so I expect my fuel economy will be a little lower.

That's pretty good for a 4x4 w/ TT/SL & bigger tires. When we rode with you to Marks Feed Store in '06 I did not realize that you had a 4x4. Watch your Scanguage while doing 60-65 mph, and I bet you'll get a couple more mpg.

I set my cruise control at about 60mph and averaged around 21.6mpg there and back, with a fully loaded bed and three people in the truck.
People were whizzing by me, but I wasn't in any hurry. I did have a few truckers come barreling up my six and then gesture rudely at me when they were finally able to pass around me.

My numbers for Louisville:
Average MPG: 21.0 (best 22.4, worse 19.5)
Gallons Used: 102
Total Gas Cost $409
Cost per Mile $0.019
AVG Cost $4.02 (lowest $3.91 in Ohio. Highest 4.39 in CT)
Total Distance: 2135 Miles
Not bad for a 4X4. We averaged around 65 MPH. In spite of the cost, we had a great time. Many pictures to come soon.

I found a place or two that was seeling gas for 3.799 and 3.829, I figured it was better to fill up a little at these places. Rather than waiting and filling up at alot of gas at 3.89 to 4.00. I was very happy. especially when the scangauge was telling me I could go for 600 miles on a tank._Ron

Rampo, your decimal point is off one in your cost per mile. I was like DAMN! $.02 per mile is good (because that would be appx 200mpg @ $4 a gallon), so it's $.20 per mile.
I'm headed back home from Atlanta, finally, in a little bit here, so I'll soon know how I did. I'll probably have to fill up on the way home, but no big deal, I'll top it off when I get back and I'll have my numbers.
