I picked up 2 mpg when I put my black magic fan on my 5.2, but get a
little over 21 highway, 17 around town. I also have a Jet II chip and
use premium gas.

The most I've ever tanked up with was 21 gallons, but I was riding on E
for
about 3 days...they all have the 22 gallon tank except for the quad cab,
it's got a 26.

13?? I've got a 2k CC 2wd with a v6 and auto, i usually get around
15-16,
and that's with a very heavy foot. Mileage went up in the cold weather
though, daks love that nice cold dense air charge.
