If you mix turtle with v8pilot driving styles, maybe you can squeeze out 17-18 mpg...

Start at the bottom 1200 rpm shift, 1400 rpm shift, 1600 rpm shift, 1800 rpm shift. Cruising around town at 25-40 mph (with 4.10's) in OD. Highway speeds of 65 mph and below. Moderate throttle when accelerating and slow down way before the lights so you dont stop.

Nothing to it... 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway.

BTW I average 22.5 mpg including beating the snot out of it at the track every weekend.
