Default 18mpg in the 3.7

I no it isnt any 22mpg like marv, but a hell of a lot better than the 15-16 i was getting, i now have a lil over 4k miles on it, i hope it keeps on improving, but im not gonna get my hopes up, especialy from what ive read and been told, but im defently happy with 18, oh, and there is a catch, drove 230+ miles, on the way there, truck stayed at 70,only pick up a gear to get back to 70 once, decent grade, thats my only problem, i drive interstate 98% of the time, and even the slightest grade it will kicke up and grab a new gear, plus the high winds we have here in west tx, im hopeing a power wire and cai will take care of that, but again im not gonna get my hopes up

I was getting 17, but for some reason when it is really cold I get 15, maybe it's because I let it warm up for 15 min. in the morning.

That's great guys, I just filled up today after 2 months since the truck has been parked and used by my wife for city driving only. I got 14mpg with 100% city driving.
