I got 16 MPG w/4:10 gears doing 75 on a long trip (about 2300 - 2400 rpm), 14.6 towing a 1700 lb trailer back the other way...

Dang Guys. I get between 320 and 340 evertime. That's probably my 6th tank in a row with that many miles out of each!

Mostly Highway though ...

You guys must not drive right? I avg 16.5 w/a mix of city and hwy. Highest I ever got was 18.8 when stock and worst was 12.xx hot footing in the mountians. (I don't record usage when at the strip)

Usually between 275-295 when light comes on. (14 avg. and mostly freeway driving, stop-go on way home from work) My record is 340 before light came on (when stock and cruise the entire tank). Oh, and the planets were aligned as well. I wish it was possible not to fishtail up or down the onramps and merge @100

Not "miles per gallon" It's "SMILES PER GALLON"

If you slowed down a little you could do better, hehe

I can get 17-18 on the highway if I drive mellow.

And that is making 439HP

I was hoping for about 18mpg on the freeway but not many people will let me draft them…
