    I get 9-10.5 city. I think I may have a small exhaust leak but not sure. Highway if I fill up the tires to 45psi I can get 15-16mpg driving at 70mph.

    Buy a cheap automotive stethoscope from your local auto parts store and listen around gasket surfaces, pipe joints, etc. You can hear a distinct sound when you locate a leak. You can visually look for carbon build up on the exterior of the pipe. Let the truck sit idle for several minutes and look for water drips as the condensing water inside the exhaust seeps through leaks in the system. One more option... following a cold start you can move fast and spray soapy water on areas you suspect you might have leaks. Air bubbles will form if a leak is present.

    I'm now averaging 12 in town. I'm more than content with that, but that is driving like a grandma and never in the boost. One interesting thing to note is that I also got 12mpg towing my Cobra on backroads. Was pleasantly surprised.

    I never see better than 11 to 12 out of mine. Truck has been fully serviced and tune is from a reputable tuner. I don't drive it daily so it hasn't bothered me. Taking a trip to michigan in August for Woodward dream cruise and I'm sure truck will kill my wallet at the mileage it gets now lol
