Mine gets 100 mpg in the driveway :D.

When i traveled from flag to phoenix and back when i was goin to school up there i could average 20mpg on a tank repeatably hand calculated. I ran 70mph, no a/c (usually didnt use it), quart of two stroke oil, wouldnt get on it to pass people, ran a small tune, all emission shit gone (well never had it since its a federal truck), tires at 50psi, new fuel filters, all syn oils, and would draft people when i could. I was a poor college kid so i did all i could to save a gallon of fuel. If i could hit a tailwind id get 21-22 and that ment more beers at the bar :woot:

I'd be happy with 18mpg! I get 17 on the highway no matter what tuner or efi tune. Got 18.5mpg once when the truck was new. 16-17 best I get now. :(
