I just gassed up tonight. This tankfull I got 16.1 mpg. Previous tankfull 16.4
mpg. On this one I was running with the a/c on mostly, and mostly city
driving. The previous tankful had only about 30% running with the a/c on with
the same city driving. I guess I'm not doing too bad. The Grey Ghost now has
4700 miles on it. '00 CC 4X4 4.7 5 speed 3.55 gears K&N
Po-Boy

Last night I drove pure highway mostly flat with one grade. 140 miles
roundtrip.

Round trip avg was 17.7mpg.

Total load about 800lbs.

3.92 gears and a automatic in a 4.7 powered SLT+ CC.

| Well I went on a trip today for a job interview, it was 175 miles round
| trip, spent a total of 1 hour fighting traffic and covering like 15 miles
| but I still knocked down 18.3 MPG (cheater method). I am very
| pleased. Everyone is probably thinking that I babied it, well I did on
teh
| way there, went 70 the whole way (19.8 MPG). On the way back I got stuck
| in traffic, and drove almost like I usually do. I can't complain. I am
| sure the 5-speed helped a bit.
