My 97 gets between 6 and 8 in town and between 10 to 13 on the highway depending on how I drive it. My 2000 did about the same.

I got an average of just over 13 Highway (Unloaded) on my 30 hr trip home with it.

Guessing it gets around 10 City (Not Verified) but I drive it like it's a Sports Car :mrgreen:

Ours over the years have averaged around 10-13 stock and different engine/performance mods have not changed the mileage any.
