-I have a 2000 CC 4x4 with the 4.7, 5 speed, 3.55 gears and 31x10.50 15
tires. -
-I'm getting consistent 16 to 16.5 mpg driving around town these days with
the -
-a/c on. And I just can't seem to go a whole tankfull without burying my
foot -
-to the floor for launches at least several times. One tankfull several
months -
-ago I did try to take it easy and posted 17.3 for that tankful in city -
-driving.(There were still several WOT's but not as much as usual...) My
best -
-highway mileage was 19.8 when the truck only had about 2000 miles on it.
That -
-was running at 75 to 80 the whole way. That was realy the only time I've
had -
-it on the highway for any length of time.
