On a recent episode of Trucks (on Speedvision) they did a segment on a
QC 2wd with the 4.7 and 5-speed. They said they averaged 15mpg.
My '96 318 got about 13mpg at first, but when it broke in that went up
to 15-17 somewhere. My Dad drove it once and got 19. Several mods later
and 1.5 seconds quicker, I got almost 21mpg on the way down and back from
Carlisle last year. (Speed was usually about 65mph)
