I averaged about 20 mpg on my FtWorth trip, less on the way back for some reason...

Mileage varies on my 2006, 1500 with the 4.3 in it.
From about 17mpg here around town...which is mostly on the freeways...to about 20mpg on a road trip.

That is if I keep it below 75/80.

Average about 11.8 mix of highway and city. A 6.0 will do that though.

I just checked mine for the last couple of months.. 872 miles, 54.223 gallons (from receipts, not the DIC).. 16.08 MPG. That was mostly city & freeway driving, with a few rush hours thrown in for good measure....

I checked mine the last time I filled up. Yes, the Silverado. I got 13 mpg combined out of the 6.0. I won't do that well on this tank, because it was all around town.
