I don't know how much I'm averaging I'll check this weekend, I don't know think mines that good, I'm rolling stock, but I drive like my mom says "como un Diablo" [like a Devil]

See, that's how I usually drive, but this past tank, I decided to try the "drive like a grandpa" mod, and it's bumped me up to 19.0 MPG (351.0 miles/18.387 gallons) last tank, mixed highway/city.

It did get kinnda boring driving 60-65 on the highway, but I can see myself keeping the revs under 2000 in the city, as well as coasting down to lights. That does seem doable.

Just filled up a 2000 Expy 4x4 5.4 yesterday. Got 12.1 MPG. AF1 intake, the rest is stock. Can't complain given that less than 20 of the 308 miles were highway miles... most trips less than 2 miles. Icing on the cake - it's nice filling up once a month!
