PPG: 2.03 for 89octane
MPG: 17.28 (comp said 17.5)
Temp: 83* at 6pm 65* at 1:30am per comp
Avg. speed : 73.3mph
Axle: 3.55
Current Mileage: 5044 mi. after trip
Oil: 5W/30 Pennzoil? from dealership at 3088 mi.

No mods
And as Jeff17 mentioned it is 2wd.

This was all highway on flat ground at 78mph with no traffic at night from Ft. Lauderdale to Atlanta. Nice smooth sailing. No major interruptions. Cruise all the way except in construction zone which slowed me down a bit. I was filled up to tippy top before leaving. Fuel light had chimed on before I stopped. If I left out any info let me know. This was going north. Coming back my wife drove 1/2 way and drove like a bat out of hell and we got a little over 15mpg. If you need any more info, let me know.

Here is my deal. 02 5.9 quad cab 3;55 gear
down hill with a 90 mph tail wind completely empty and three of my friends pushing me I get about 11.2 miles per gallon on a good day. Fresh engine tune tire pressures at max and all the right atomspheric conditions. The milage on this things sucks...major
