whats your MPG?
I don't know if there's a thread like this yet, but i've been wondering what mine will be like(i know it could be way different than even a truck exactly the same).
If you know your average MPG, engine, transmission, axle ratio, etc. Post it, i'd like to know if I should be expecting 5 MPG or 20 MPG.
Thanks.

74 Cummins swapped highboy 18 total average with my foot out of it.
15 Golding F6B 40 total average no matter what.
15 Dodge Charger scatpack 392" 500hp 25 highway and 15 around town. As long as I keep my foot out of it. It's too much fun for MPG concerns.
