I might be one of the few that Daily drives their stroker. But i get between 16.5-17.5mpg. This is mixed freeway and city driving. I am running 30# injectors. I am usually right at 17 or so. What do you guys get? Just wondering.

I haven't checked mine in a while. When I was still running my 02's I was getting about 20 on the highway and maybe 7 or 8 in town. I think I'm only getting about 15 on the highway now with the 02's unhooked.

When I'm having fun I get in the 6-10 range. Mixed city/highway usually gets me 14-15, and all highway I can get around 18.

Around 14mpg around town with 4.30 gears. MPG did not change with the swap from 3.73's to 4.30's, fwiw.

My cam is a 'tad' aggressive as compared to what most on this site would run

That's awesome!

My friend did a swap from just 3.55's to 4.10's and his mpg went down a bit...but he drives in town and on the highway.
