However, the gas mileage has been quite disappointing compared to my expectations and the EPA estimates. I am only getting about 15 mpg on the highway, and that is with a very light foot on the accelerator.

I have heard that these trucks get better mileage after they have a few thousand miles on them. Just wondering what anybody else's experience is with fuel economy in a similar truck.

So far my cure for the disappointing fuel mileage is to stop calculating it and just enjoy driving the thing.

Motor?
