Mine gets 16-17 pretty much all the time. Almost 20 on long trips at 65 MPH....but I can hardly keep it there since it's Juiced and seems like 80 MPH is its favorite...

I get consistant 18mpg in the winter and 21mpg in the summer. Banks 6-gun helped me gain about 1.5mpg. I run it on level 2 most of the time.

Waaaayyy better than that hemi, a hunting buddy of mine purchased a quad cab hemi last fall, we split fuel costs and driving. My costs to drive the round trip to the hills and back was $27.00, his was $57.00, needless to say I ended up driving alot more than he did. He is currently driving his sister's sunbird to save on fuel costs, claims he can't run the truck and make the payments lol.
