No you're not stuck. Possible rolling hills change it. My times I did it was from Jax to Savannah at all speeds. Did that trip all summer long last year. The truck is great for cruisin'. Trips to Orlando and Melbourne Florida from Jax. SO these trips are about 200 - 300 miles one way. Flat land no hills and set cruise control to that speed. I'm getting 2.5mpg more at 60mph, where at 80mph I'm getting 1.5mpg more. This is using my AFE and Borla duels. I tried one trip to Savannah at 55mph and got 24.5mpg..Only problem I couldn't replicate that so I don't count it. Not to mention horn blowing people cussing because of the speed I was doing in the right lane...Go figure....If I'm not right that 24.5mpg was also done with a complete tank of premium gas. I'm currently playing around with that to see if there is a difference. I'm very close to avg 20mpg on a monthly basis. I'm at 19.8mpg. Now it's 28 miles one way for me to work. Out of that 19 miles are I-95. 8 miles are 4 lane road at 55 where I keep it at 60. That last mile I have 2 red lights only.
