I got the 98 RC 5.2 auto with the poboy intake, flowmaster and a hard
bedcover. I get about 15-16 in town and have gotten as hi as 23 hiway..
usually 19-20.5ish
I reallllly started getting good mileage when I added the bedcover and
intake.
I seem to get my best MPG when I stay under 65 on the hiway READ not
interstate, I can get 21 if I stay under 65.
Don't know if this helps, but it is my formula for success =]
