I agree, Love the engine, gas mileage is 15/16 around town with 3.92 gears
and about 22 on the highway. Power is awesome! I have logged 8000 miles and
no problems! Highly recommended!!

Well, I've had mine since October and absolutely love it! I get about 15
to 16 MPG city and about 17-22 MPG highway (depending on the conditions).
Great engine in my opinion! You can read more about it at my website.
goto http://www.geocities.com/natedak2k , On my options page you can
download a VERY comprehensive (and technical) article about the 4.7L
engine
(just click on the engine link in the list of options). Need anything
else just ask!!
