Hey, Andrew,

<snip> What kind of real world highway mileage can you get from the V-6?
Mine
seems to really drink in the gas. On the single, 100 mile trip home, it
 went from full to 1/4. I traveled at about 65 mph, most of the way<snip>

Sorry if I'm a tad late in responding, my daughters have commandeered the
puter now that school's out.
The DAKSY gets about 18.5 mpg on a trip & I keep her about 72 mph. That's
with 500# (+/-) of people
& a 350# VersaCap in a 4X4. My gas gauge wouldn't move below 3/4 (from full)
on that trip.

<snip> I'm sure it needs plugs, filters, and maybe air in the tires<snip>

Yep. Maybe an intake kit & a 180 degree t-stat to boot!
