Default gas mileage for 360

This is a question for you guys that own the 360. What is the average mpg that you get. I'm lucky when I get 13 mpg and I have flowmaster's, the drop in k&n, and a tonneau cover. I have saw no change in the mpg when I added these. If anything, it has gotten worse[:@].

Backdraft, check your manual. Mine says that for the 5.9, 87 octane is recommended and gas with more octane can hurt performance.

13??? that's awesome... I'd be so happy to get 13... but I've got a bad fuel pressure regulator... Any chance you can measure your fuel pressure and post it here?

Sorry guys... gotta ask.

I had no idea that milage was worse in the winter time. I had bought my 04 Hemi in Nov, so it's had bad milage the entire time I've owned it and learned to deal with it. Now I can't wait till it gets warm again!
On a side note, most of my driving is done in town, so my milage is usually around 13mpg. After a bit of highway miles this weekend, I'm up to 15!
