Hey everyone, I know this is a touchy issue, but I'm just wondering what others are getting for mileage. I have been getting between 12-13 mpg with a combo of city and highway driving. On a good day I might get 14 on the highway. I've done a recent tune up, tire pressure is at 42. Part of the trouble could be that I warm it up for about 10-15 minutes every morning as it's been quite cold. Also, anyone try the tailgate thing? I know mythbusters pretty much proved that tailgate on and up is better, but I was wondering if this could vary with diff truck models.

Thanks!
