I'd have to say that the highway estimate is a little low on the 22RE 5spd.
My registration has my truck as a 2.9L Who knows....

I know that I can get up to 5mpg better then my truck was rated for new

They redid the EPA estimates a few years ago. At that site you can see what your truck is ESTIMATED to get under both the OLD and NEW system (look around). The old system was typically liberal and you'd have to REALLY avoid hills and acceleration to hit their numbers. The new system is typically conservative and if you put any effort into it you can probably acheive better numbers.

The new system takes A/C, 4wd and elevation changes into the equation
