^ my Cherokee got 2L/100km worse (15 to 17) going from KO's to Duratracs. It doesn't sound bad but that was $500/yr in fuel at the time. That's a lot when a set of tires is about a grand.

That's why I went with the KO2 on my Tundra. Granted, the 20" wheels don't help fuel mileage either.

Same - and the Duratracs were more money, and were not as good on pavement.

The thing I always wonder is "how do they do it in Europe?" because these vehicles do not exist in Europe and they still get all their construction and personal projects done... something to think about... we're just extremely wasteful/selfish here. I don't mean that in a bad way against anyone here, all North Americans are selfish with their personal space etc... so no surprise it's the same with the tools we use too.
absolutely everything is diesels

Averaging ~19L/100km on an aluminum bodied F150 extended cab with the 5.0, 8' bed, and 6 speed. All city.

That is similar to my Tundra.
20-21L/100km in the city. I don't have a light foot, and hate when people take forever to get up to speed. So those days when I hit every red light and have to stop/start ad nauseam are what get it up there.
