I am getting 22.4 mpg. Had to slow down and keep the rpm's below 2000. Keep tires aired up to 65psi, clean air filter regularly, change fuel filter when you change oil. I also use Lucas injector cleaner everytime I fill up the tank.

1 other thing to note is that I had to quit enjoying the dark smoke.

Sorry fellas, I missed the Alcoa part. I thought you were wanting people over 22.5 mpg. Whoops.

But if I could borrow a set of Alcoas and tires I would give it my best shot.
