It's amazing the difference between the 4X4s and 4x2s ... My RC 4.7l
5-speed 3.92LSD gets 21-22 mpg highway , 17-18 mpg around town ... if I
drive really fast 75-80 mph , the highway mileage drops to the 19 mpg range
.. Towing my 'busa on an open trailer, I get 20 mpg. Towing my 3500lbs race
car on an 7x16 open trailer, I get 15-16 mpg.
