It varies greatly on what transmission you are using.

Truck in my sig, I get 12.5 with 35's on it. With 34's I would get 14mpg.

(With an efi 302 I only got 8mpg)

If I took out the lift, spool, and put stock tires on it, i would get 18mpg Im sure.

My truck sustained 18 MPG for a while in last week's spring temperatures on the interstate! That was with zero wind, no traffic, and a clear night sky to enjoy. Quietest ride ever. The beast has 3.55:1 gearing, 31x10.5" Dunlops, an E4OD, and fresh fluids/filters throughout. It has 110,000 miles and runs like new.

Ive only been able to muster 13mpg out of my 96 Bronco. I have had alot of brake issues tho (dragging, locking up, pulsing, etc..) so Im not sure how accurate that number is. I have Bassani's complete street thunder system in my garage going on in a few weeks. I hope to get some decent mileage out of it (I just hope my right foot doesnt suddenly become lead filled ).
