I have been getting 14-18 City (San Antonio) and 16-22 Highway. I have a
'00 2x4 4.7L with 11,000 miles. I have switched to Amsoil and a K&N drop-in
filter. My only complaints are:

1) On cold start I get a rough idle for about 10 Sec. then all OK
2) The AC drips onto the exhaust
3) Had to have the rear door weather stripping redone
4) The rear window rattled and the latch had to be replaced.

Over all I feel it was the right thing to do and would do it again.
