I have a 1992 V8 auto Long bed 4x4... almost the heaviest one next to an ext
cab, and i get about 18.8 on the highway (65mph) and when running around town
at an avg of 35-50 (mostly 45) I get about 15.5.... how does this sound to
you guys?

DT Headers, functional ram air, k&n filter, flowmaster muffler

 If it's 10-12 MPG then that is about right, I only get
 14-15, 75% highway with a manual trans and 3.55's.
 You can always try the rotten egg trick!
 Hey what's the (3.55=20)?
