our last tank was 75/25% hwy/local and we got 15.5mpg. That's actually more local than normal so i'm curious to see how this tank will turn out, i don't expect more than 17mpg for 85/15% hwy/local

I'm right around 15mpg total average over close to 2 years and 20K miles.

Highway I get 17-19 depending on speed, hills, weather, etc.

Lately my wife has been driving it mostly around town with some highway - probably about a 50/50 mix. Speed average is in the mid 20's and mpg is around 14.

So true city driving would be 12-13.

It's about what you would expect. And probably within 1mpg of a 4.4i for that matter.

I just got back from Vegas with it and with my much heavier winter tires on and averaging between 150-160kms/hr, I was consistently 16mpg. It takes a lot for me to dip below that with my summer tires but I am looking for lighter wheels to help with mileage and rotational mass.

I'm interested, what have you done to yours that you've seen a huge difference in fuel mileage?
