On a 5k mile road trip in '07 we averaged 24 mpg for the trip. I was very happy with that number considering we crossed the continental divide multiple times, ran at 80mph most of the time on the freeways (with the a/c on a lot) and ran it up into the triple digits several times while in the back lands of Nevada.

Driving sensibly around town the numbers fall into the 15-18mpg range.

btw - "The Beast" is a 99% stock '90. The only components it didn't come off the assembly line with originally are the tires, a/c condenser, and fuel injectors.
