For some reason i can't vote in the poll.

Regardless, i average 9 to 10 mpg. I drive 98% city, and usually only go to school, friend's houses, and put around town. Once every few weeks i take it on the highway to go out to our cabin.

My truck is fairly stock;it has a 3 inch lift(installed when i bought it), 265 75 r16 tires(approximately 32 inches) and 3.55 gears.

I average 16.5 to 17 with a city/hwy mix. On the parkway I will average 18-19. Edelbrock 14x3 helped slightly, but the biggest jump I found was when I replaced my cat with a magnaflow hi-flo cat, went from 14 to 16 around where I live.

Mostly city driving. M1, MP 14x3, MSD Wires, Accel Cap, Bosch copper plugs (gonna switch to Autolite 3923s), 237k on the odometer 3.55 gears and 31" tires. I'd say I get around 10mpg, maybe 11/12 if I baby it. Got a horrid sucking noise when I first crank it up and about half of the trip to school until it warms up. I think that's part of the mpg problem in addition to the high mileage.

It gets around 10-11 if I'm light on the pedal. I'm not too light on the pedal, so probably more in the 9-10 range.
