I drove from Detroit area to southern Indiana over the long weekend and got the best mileage yet. Almost 18mpg (17.85). Still getting 15mpg around town, but I was pleased with the beast. I have a SCREW 4x4 with the baby motor (4.6), so I don't expect alot.

You guys also gotta take into consideration the region your in and the climate you have. I believe JP's 16mpg since he's in warm sunny florida. Now that MI has turned up the heat into the 80s/90s I've been in the mid-15s with a heavy foot. Fall its low-15s, winter is 14s. I've even see a few 13mpg tanks for my normal commuting weeks. And don't forget about elevation & quality of gas in your area...

I've seen upper 17s on the freeway, extended cruising. That's it. My weekly commute consists of 34 mile of detroit freeway a day. Not exactly a consistant speed, somedays stop-and-go. Then the regular errands and crap around town. I figure it out to be a 50/50 60/40 Hwy/Cty split. I get low to mid 15s consistantly week after week until winter sets in. I don't drive like a grampa. Somedays like andretti but for the most part I'm just a regular idiot on the road.
