Since I bought it new in August, '99, my ,99 4DR 2WD has gotten 15MPG in town and 20MPG on the highway. When towing a 4060 lb. boat and trailer on the highway it always gets 16MPG. It now has 123,000. It is so consistent that I can estimate within a half gallon how much it will take when I fill it up, assuming I remembered to reset the trip odometer. The 4WD models should get about 1MPG less, I think.

Yeah, I get about 14 city with mine. Probably much better if it was on highway. Thats with a bad lower intake gasket too...lol...I freakin hate replacing those things..such a pain in my a-hole. I wonder if I could trade it in for a Ford Expedition?....:grinno:
