I've had a quick search and couldn't find a dedicated mpg thread so, mainly for my info gathering, would you please post what pickup you're driving and what mpg you get? It would be great if you would take the trouble to list your mpg figures, with and without the camper and your driving style/speed.
I've read repots from low 20's to low 30's, with some of those lower ones saying the truck was empty. other reports have stated they're getting close to the manufacturers stated combined figure when empty.
It would be really useful, for myself and other potential new owners, to see a real world, across the board, set of figures.

Hilux, Skarroser
23-25 with or without camper but I drive it hard all the time so not especially representative i'm afraid,
Oddly with camper hooked on it seems to do better
Go figure

Just thought i would join in but i don't think my Mazda B2200 single cab really counts in the current pick up world.
32 mpg - loaded.
45 mpg - unloaded ( Steady driving )
ps. My Nissan Navara King Cab ( 2011 )
40 mpg - unloaded ( Steady driving )
I don't know the loaded figure yet, i've yet to buy a new demountable for it.

From Poole harbour to todhills rest area after filling up in Cherbourg, driving for economy and slipstreaming lorries. 29mpg, with my Tandy pony.
Regular mpg with motorway driving at 60ish 19-20 mpg carrying my new rig.
That's the old model ford ranger, apparently the new model is more economical.

I think its called 'Hyperdriving'. Really its just reading the road, anticipating what others will do before they do, etc & being tight.
The on board computer is reading 43.6 mpg but real world its 40 mpg. Going to be interesting when i get another Demountable for it.
