Mine gets 12 mpg no matter how I drive it.
I expect the mileage to get worse with the new heads and cam Im installing soon.

I get 12 also, no matter how I drive in the city, not sure what the highway mileage is.

Around 2400 to 2600 I think, like I said, I hardly ever see the highway. It is so funny how I can drive her nice, or I can drive her hard and still get the same mpg..
