I get about 11 city, 11.5 highway. I only drive a total of 30 miles a day max so it doesn't bother me that much. Plus, it's a lifted truck with a 383, I'm like a big kid that gets to ride the big wheel all day! :rocking: My wife has a little mazda 6 that we drive anywhere we need to go.

Around 12 in the city and about 15 on the highway. I did get as good as 17.5 -18 on the highway once though. The highway dead that night and I didn't have to tap my brakes for slow drivers. Straight cruise control pretty much all the time.

I run about 14.5 city and 17-18 highway.
93 octane, syn blend oil, k&n, gibson fast flow exhaust (biggest improvement)
Ready to watch it drop when I put my new tires on, they weigh 64 pounds each...

I was finally able to check as I recently got my odo repaired. Around 14.77 mixed. I put in 311 miles today, between 75 and 80 mph, ac on for half the trip, air leak in the intake manifold gasket, leading me to run 91 octane, shot upper right ball joint, and I still got 19.55 mpg straight highway miles. See my siggy for mods.
Made the return trip with the A/C on 75 to 95% of the time and a roof top carrier bolted to the roof rack. 18 mpg.
