I think my moms 2003 4.0 gets about 20 in all around driving. That is including my short bursts of high RPM's (the little suckers sure like to rev.)

The 2002 XLT 4.0L I just traded in with 25804 miles got about 15.5 around town, 19.5 on the freeway (75-80 mph). When I hooked my boat to her tail it dropped back to 15 (60-65 mph, no OD).
