I have seen 17ish on extended trips with my 2005 v10
I have not owned it long and i expect to see some drop with the mods i am making, but when i brought it home from cali a month or so ago i filled her up in Pagosa Springs Colorado and ran the 230 miles home from there at 2-5 over the speed limits (58-70 mph) over five mountain passes and got a hand calculated 16.87 mpg. At that time she was stock 3.73s
I have installed 4.56s, 3-4 inches of lift and am waiting on my new rubber to be delivered today. I am sure she will lose some economy.

Hmmmmm, 3-4" of lift and new rubber on the way....I'm guessing 35"s? You should have gone with even deeper gears!
. I ran 32" tires with 4.88 for two years and it was a Hotrod and towed like a locomotive!
