11.65 mpg on an 07 4.7L 6 spd 4x4. About half highway half city, but I do have a lead foot, and I'm still getting used to the gearing in this thing. Lower gearing than I'm used to, but I still don't feel the need for 6th as often as a should.

I drive a '94 sundance with the 2.5 N/A and a 5 speed, I can get anywhere from 18-25MPG depending on how I drive, my friend has an oldsmobile aurora with a 4.0 liter V8 and a digital dash that shows MPG, Under full throttle it comes up as a decimal (hard to believe but I've seen it in person)

This is just the first 700 miles... 80% city while towing 3-4k# box trailer w/ AC on (it's Tucson... and summer) 11.85 hand calculated.
The other 20% is heavy footed empty driving in the city on weekends. Still having fun with the Hemi power. I want to get this thing out on the highway and see what kind of numbers I can get at reasonable speed with the cruise.
