Ughhh, that's a loaded question.

I'd say if you get 15 or above, that's good. 18 or above is excellent.
10 or less -- don't worry, you're not alone.

I had gotten that much several times on flat terrain with a 351W. 17+ as a top mpg is more common lately, mostly because of hilly terrain and congested roads.

Believe it or not, I have gotten 20 on steady freeway cruises, probably less than 15 around town (92, 5.0, auto, 3.55 gears).

Ok, what about the question of hp & torque then? I'm curious too.

In terms of consumption I get a fairly constant 14mpg(UK) = 16.8 mpg(US) on 95/98 Octane gas 5L EB E40D '92 which ain't too bad.

Do a search in this forum and you will find the torque, not sure about HP.

for the people claiming 18 or 20mpg what size tires are you running with the stock gears because your mileage will be miscalculated for the larger then stock tire size.

My mileage was calculated with 32x11.50 with stock 3:55 gears, speedometer has been recalibrated for the 32's.
