I had the Michelin LTX M/S tires on my '03 7.3L PSD (Super Cab/4WD) & got mid 18mpg to low 19 mpg at a constant 70mph highway. Going to the east of here up to 3,500 ft. elevation & back down, 85 miles round trip was 15 to 16 mpg and 14.5 mpg in town. But, they didn't have any traction when I got on dirt, which I had to do once in a while. I put a tire with more agressive tread on and now get a steady 14.5 combined and 17.2 freeway. I'm not sure I believe people when they talk about getting 20+ mpg and some Dodge guys claim mid 20's. Maybe it's because mine is 4WD, but I haven't talked to anyone personally who says they get that kind of mileage. If you do, more power to you.
