On flat ground, I can get AND maintain some very nice numbers. About 30mpg is the best maintainable, and 27-28 at a more acceptable speed (60-65ish). Hills screw me over though. I end up averaging low 20's becuase of going up mountains

Not surprised by that either. City is horrible with a v8 unless it has cylinder deactivation.

I average around 16-17mpg, mostly city, driven with no regard for economy.

Not to steal the thread, Bmr, but I like your L-stripe. Is it paint or tape, and if tape, where's it from?

Thanks.

Wow. Ya'all are making me jealous. lol

Best I've gotten all freeway driving is 19 mpg but usually get 12-14 city/freeway.

But it's a ton of fun to drive that's for damn sure! :-)
