    16 - 17 mph around town for the most part. Looks like everyone is in the same ballpark. Hwy mileage 19 - 20 keeping an eye on your speed and rpm's. That doesnt mean granny driving. Wheeling mpg ???

    I'm relieved to hear you were just kidding. My old 3.4 had 5in under it and 33x12.50 MTR, and it got 17mpg regardless. It's been on several multi-hour trips cruising around 80mph, and for just putting around the farm on back roads, it always got 17, but it felt like I was always towing an anchor.
