Default gas milleage

hi guys, this is just a survey, how many miles per gallon are you running in your V8? I know where to drive it (city or highway) driving matters, I'm about 60% city and 40% and I'm only running 13mpg. What about you? Thanks

I'm usually around 18mpg overall. Lot more city than highway.

I hand calculate at every fill-up. I typically drive 95% highway and average 22-23 MPG but that includes typical runs at 75 MPH for about 4-5 hours steady plus 80-90 MPH runs chasing rabbits another hour or 2 per 1 way trip. But when I was "stuck" doing 65 MPH from fill-up to fill-up I averaged 26 MPG. That's with 3.55's.

In the warmer months I get 23-24 city and a solid 27 hwy. Right now I'm getting 19
because of letting the car warm up.
It's all in how you drive it. Every car I've had has beaten the EPA ratings.
