Andrew, take it to the dealer. Sounds like something is wrong with a sensor.
You should get atleast 15 or 16 around town and 20 on the highway. I get
around 16 every fillup, driving very hard and racing frequently. My highway
mileage has been as high as 22 mpg.

Fellow DML'ers,
Help. I Changed the plugs in my 2000 4.7 to Autolite 5224's and the
mileage,
which was already poor at 11.5, has become even worse. It is now in the
10.0
range. I gapped the plugs at .045 (stock .040). Bad Map sensor? If so how
to test? Curiously, the mileage at highway speeds is very respectable at
around 19.5+. Just seems to be city driving. WTF?
Andrew
