Default 5.8l owners mpg's?
Just wondering what the average MPG's you are getting on the highway. I'm guessing around 15-16?

I'm over the 200k mark, with 33's. And need some exhaust work, but my old 5.8 was just as bad.

I get 15 to 16 with a built 351...and it's a hot rod. But it's also a 4 speed with an od and had 3.55s. I just changed to 4.10s. Im sure it will drop now.
