I have a 2001 QC 4x4 4.7l I constantly get 14MPG in the city and 20MPG
on long highway trips. I currently have 16,103 on the Odometer. Bought
the truck on June 2 of 2001 with 13 miles on it.

Nothing special, I've got a toneau cover K&N replacement filter and
that's
it. I normally try to get 87 octane at Sunoco or BP. I try to stay
away
from Sheetz or other gas stations because I'm never had good results
with
any vechile I've ever owned. I drive about 15 miles to work on back
roads
and about 10 miles home on the turnpike.
