With the Michelins, my fuel mileage ranged from 18.4 to 19.2 on the freeway at 2K rpm's & 70 mph. With the more aggressive tread, that came down to 17.2.

Funny you should say that, I just switched over to BFG commercial tires on my dually, as it is mostly a highway truck for pulling trailers. ,I instantly noticed a significant fuel mileage increase , I went from 17 ish to 19 on my first trip out . So far, they are wearing really well , and drive nice . I would recommend them as long as mud,and snow traction is not your main concern .
