What kind of mileage are you guys getting from your 5th Gens?

Not driving like a teenager with a belly full of Monster playing Grand Theft Auto, with the stock tires at 38 psi, speeds around 60 mph, not stomping on the throttle and doing everything you can to keep the Eco light on you can easily get 24 mph on mostly highway trips.

Same driving style, with loaded roof rack, 285/70r17 tires, and a 3" lift I get about 20-21mpg on long distance highway trips.

Anything over 60mph significantly impacts the fuel economy. Likely a function of increased drag with speed and gearing making the engine work harder.

thats solid. i try to do 60 at times but on long trips, its just too slow. flow of traffic is usually 75 minimum.
 
Given I've got steel all the way around and on top, ~4" total lift (suspension/body), 33's...on average I'm high 14's to 16.5

Drove up to my parents house this past weekend and "hypermiled" (speeding up downhill and *mostly* coasting uphill) managed to squeeze 17.6mpg. Tried the same thing coming back with a trailer and got around 17-even.

Totally the same here, but sometimes I can get "stuck" behind a semi that's going slow then it's "not my fault" :P if that semi leaves I speed up to match traffic until I come across another.
