For city driving I would expect from 13 to 16 MPG....unless your driving in New York City or some other extreemly congested area.If the driving is very limited and you are filling it up every few months the gas will be evaporating faster than you are burning it.
City milage for a 1/2 ton truck should be equal to a passenger car.
