About 12 all-round. 4x4 auto and I speed a lot. I still got something dragging up front on occasion, haven't figured if it's a worn hub or sticky caliper yet.

95 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L, 4x2, Auto, No Mods. I tend to be light footed but I like to have fun to, so I'm sure it evens out. 16.5mpg Combined but is mostly Highway. I think I have an issue with the brakes / wheel hub at he moment. I have had it to 17.5mpg over multiple tanks of gas. Do almost no towing or hauling so I can't speak to that.

But also have 2bbl m1, 52x55mm throttle body, headers to 2.5" exhaust, 1.7 rockers, frp tuning and I'm rolling around on 265/75/16 tires that weigh 66lbs each and 2 ranch hand bumpers that added about 400lbs and factory 3.55s
