If it matters you are buying the wrong truck.

21 highway with Roe Blower. Mileage actually improved with Roe Blower. That was on stock engine though with new tune its a little less
Anyway here are the rules:

1.Cruising in sixth gear rpm @ 1500
2. No grades over 2%
3. Try to keep constant velocity. And yes that means no turns!! ( ie. cruise control) or put and egg between your foot and the gas pedal and try not to break it.
4. Try and take advantage of wind direction

:rock: :congrats:

+1 Exactly correct Prof... If gas mileage is a issue, or the price of gas for that matter, it is the wrong truck for you.

The the maintenance on these trucks more than out weighs the price of gas or the mileage.

13 mpg vs 16 mpg = 3 mpg

13 x 33 gal (06 QC) = 429 miles

16 x 33 gal (06 QC) = 528 miles

99 miles Diff - 99 miles / 13 mpg = 7.6 gal gas x $2.59 per gal = $19.60

$19.60 = Don't go to McDonald's twice a week.

McDonald's or SRT-10.... Darn that is a hard decision..... NOT

Mine gets around 13 locally. I really haven't had it on a long trip.

My QC gets around 11 and 14.5 on a run but our gallon is a little larger (4.54 litre).
It doesn't matter cos I'm on LPG now anyway.

Gas is £1.03 a litre and LPG is £49.9 a litre here.

I just towed my caravan down to a show and got the equivelant, £ for £ of 18.5 to the gallon.
This goes to 24 on a run when not towing.

It costs around the same to run as a 4 litre Jag now.

not this again

Well I guess the bottom line is they are crap to the gallon but well worth it.

I only put $20 bucks in mine last month. It actually uses less than my bike!

There has got to be some 05 QC that have the stock tune here somewhere. Simply have them email it to you and then have your tuner put your vin to it. Then you will have it back....
