First tank full truck tires : 22.8 add in 1.3 MPG cause the taller truck tires lets call it 24 MPG, I could tell the first 90 mile of its life (before the heavy K03 tires) I was getting 27 MPG, in moderate traffic. Yes I drive like an oldman, few miles an hour above the speed limit right lane, light on the gas. Second tank full over the weekend light traffic showing 24 MPG at 1.3 for the tall truck tires that is 25.3 MPG. Most speeds here at 45 MPH, some 55 MPH highway but I do live on the world's largest volcano (Hilo, Hawaii) and so there is lots of mountain climbing to do 5 to 7% grade both ways. My Titan driven the same way gets 17 MPG on passenger car tires pretending to be truck tires.

My built supercharged huge cam LT1 direct inject manual Camaro gets about 19 MPG same condition, my built, geared, supercharged Miata ND gets about 42 MPG if I can keep my foot out of it.
