My '96 3.9 Automatic running 31x10.5x15 masterCraft Courser MT's with Stock
8.25 355's, got me a wopping 180 miles off of almost 18gals. from fillup..
that includes a mix of highway to and from work for 3 days and city driving
arriving @ work and leaving those 3 days...

My dads '95 2WD 3.9 automatic on 235x70x15 gets right at 390 for 19 gals.

How we measured: Fill truck full, reset tripmeter, run till we need gas,
fill truck backup subtract the gals fed to it from maximum full capacity
and then divide the milesage by number of gals.

Still beats the hell out of my dads '84 Dodge Prospector (old Blue, gone but
not forgotten) that got 4 mpg running a 360, 750 CFM Eagle Predator 4-brl
Carb, 511 gears and my foot in its ass... 8-)
Almost forgot tire size, 35x12.5x15. We actually took cross country trips
in this thing when I was a youngster and even once when I was 16 hehe

mileage yesterday. I got 17.5 at 80 mph on cruise (90% hwy) I run the K&N
drop-in, MP catback, no chips or sensor molestation. In town I can almost
break 10 if I hot-rod it (man, that exhaust sounds good...)
