My experience with my Stroker is it seems to average 16MPG no matter how I drive it. Get your fuel at the same place, do the in tank mod so you can fill it RIGHT to the spout every time, and use your trip odometer to record your milage/economy. As soon as the economy changes, that is your queue to check air filter, oil, etc, because these beasts pretty much rely on their appettite to tell you something is wrong.
