My best was almost 24 mpg, but I found out that my speedometer was off 2 mph @ 55 mph.
Now calibrated, 18k mi., and checked with GPS, best so far 21mpg highway, normal day to day 16-17 mpg.

Don't use my numbers in the average but I get a whopping 9.8MPG! 
I drive realy short distances(less than 2 miles oneway to my commuter train), plus with my remote start and waiting in my crew for the train; it does not help my numbers either. On a long trip all highway, I got almost 17mpg when the truck was really new. So I get like 150miles per tank and only drive about 150 miles per month(almost 5 months since I had the crew and only put 2100miles on it). Cause the baby seat and other is already setup in my wife's Trooper, my Crew mostly sits idle on the weekends too. Plus I did have my 89 Trooper for a while so having three vehicles did not help either. Oh, I forgot about my dual sport motorcycle! I'm going on a long trip soon so I'll be putting about 500 or so miles on it then so I'll be taking the Crew to the dealer for it's first service right after that then. I'm going to have the front looked at since the stock tires rub the ZR5 flares(going tell them the front is too low and hopefully they will do a t-bar lift for me like 1/2-1" or so), oil change, and the rear Diff Oil changed(as per owners manual for those with G80 Locker Diffs).
Cheers,
