16 mpg average over 3000 miles:

14.5-15.5 City
17.5-18.5 hwy

Averages out just perfect. Got the big stock 255/60-15 meats on it keeping the MPG lower IMHO. Might go with a narrower tire when it is time to change for less rolling resistance.

2000 4.7 CC auto 3.55LSD, tonneau.

Ditto what Stephen said above, this thing will sh!t and git when flogged, hard to keep the tires planted.

Later guys
Chris

I average 18+ mpg in 40/60 city/hwy with an all-time high of 20+ mpg on one tank. I have yet to do a long highway trip so I don't know what it's capable of on the open road.

2002 QC SLT 3.9 v6 auto, 3.55, home brew intake, IAT relocated, modified v8 TB swap, 3923's, 180 t-stat, underdrive crank pulley, clutch fan removed, MSD 8.5 mm wires, TPS tuned, lowered 1" in rear.
