man.... i gotta clean my maf and do plugs and wires and coil pack..... i get 200 miles per tank on average......260 if almost all freeway.......
 






I get a constant 13-14mpg, I do only city driving.

KKM intake
Bosch +4's
33" tires
3.73 gears
 






matt thats kinda low. do you think that the increase of tires causes a dramatic decrease in mpg's? hopefully 1" increase won't bring my gas milage down. i got 3.73 gears which will be good out here where the roads are somewhat open with hardly any stoplights
 






I have a 94 Sport 4x4 with 3.27 gears and stock exhaust and I get about 13 mpg in town in the warmer weather...

and about 12 mpg in town in the winter...

on trips it gets about 18 mpg, but I have not taken it on a long trip since I got my KKM. Since I got my KKM and switched the truck to synthetic oil I am getting about 14 mpg in town this summer which isn't bad considering all the hills we have here.
 






I just made a 800 mile trip in my 5 day old XLT.. 4.10 gearing and 4x4 with 4.0 SOHC.. I didn't measure the first 450 miles, but I filled up when I left Albany Oregon and then filled up again when I reached Everett Washington. My average was 16.9 mpg, and when I pulled into my driveway it had 970 miles..
