Basically what the others said. Mine's an 05, 6sp, 3.73s. I get 12-15 around town depending on throttle usage, 14-19 on the highway. Just added a Smarty/Revo so I'm hoping to see a couple more points added to those numbers. We'll see.

With the mods listed below I get a consistent 12.5 around town and about 17 on the highway.

I usually get pretty close to 18 mpg. I'm on the highway about 75% of the time. I usually drive 65-70 mph. If I drove more in town miles I would probably get 15-16 and if I drove all highway I think I could get pretty close to 20 mpg if I really tried.
