My 97, as described, gets anywhere from 15 to 22 mpg....depending on how I drive it.
Just average driving around "town"....17 average. On the interstate I get 21 to 22mpg.

220 hp and the MPG should be about 16 city/20 highway. The fuel economy is going to vary depending upon how you drive though.

My truck is powered by 8 very fat, very thirsty hampsters. Hopefully your hampsters are in much better shape and don't need to stop every few days for a drink.

I wanted to ask the same question.... I have 2WD XLT 4.6L and if I watch myself (closely) I can get 19.3, .5 on a great day. Now when I'm late or just want to hear the ol girl talk, or just catch 2nd, 15 +/- 1 MPG.
