I run Mobil 1 10W-30, and after 2.5 years with the car and ~30k miles(156k total) i get 30mpg highway with 21mpg city (economode - accelerating slowly and shifting at 1500rpm)
my mileage is 20% better than sticker, is this weird/normal?
I get 17-18mpg city, 23-24mph highway at an average speed of 75mph. I have a 3.73 and it's the same consumption as when it was bone stock with a 2.73 rear end. Still better than the 15/22 EPA estimates.
i get between 250 to 170 per tank on my 1990 5.0 depending on how i drive. my car eats gas. So im probaly getting only about 17-18 mpg when you factor in im not runnling my tank completly dry.

I can get about 21 highway with all the mods below, but that rarely happens since its my toy and not my daily driver

Well with the way I drive... I average 16.5 MPG. That was before my intake swap, but I doubt that changed the mileage any.
I like go full throttle when I get up to speed on an interstate a lot.
