In town I get maybe 150 to a takn because I can never get my foot off the gas. On the highway I average about 350 to 400. Thats with the stock rearend also.

if you drive somewhat agressively but not like a maniac and cruise the interstates at 70 mph, you should be able to average around 17-18 mpg or so. but you can easily get only 12-13 mpg if you have a heavy right foot and drive like a jack rabbit away from every stop you make too.

I think in my cars case it was more in how many gallons per mile. I got around 7 in the city, around 12 highway.

Only in town. More or less my gearing/tranny combo is making it horrible.
