I get about 15.5 running back and forth from work at about 45-63 mph in the
morning and the 35-60 in the evening going to and from school (they are both
short one way trips of 9mi)..... now when I get up on the highway, I get
about 18-19. I think that is pretty good for a 1992 4x4 Long bed auto Dak
with a 318 and 94K on it, dont you???
