[QUOTE="Creston, post: 443293, member: 22510"] I meant mileage out of the tires. Not fuel mileage. Ive never concerned myself with fuel mileage. And the vehicles that I've had that probably should have got decent fuel mileage weren't impressive. Currently I have 10 vehicles either tagged or could be. My mach one gets my best mileage. Lol. I can stretch it to 27ish highway . Closer 17 around home . My 2021 5.0 f150 gets around 23 highway and 19 around home. My 79 big block gets around 8. Our v10 gets around 11. My 66 big block gets around 16 but it's 3 on the tree and geared stupid high. Will break 100 in second. Our highlander gets 18 locally. Might hit 24 on the highway. But if I'm driving that one, I have 5 passengers and a luggage rack full. Easily the most comfortable vehicle I've owned and that's including a benz, 2 Denali, and my new f150). Best reliability too. I'm a domestic driver though. Lol. No imports for me. My JK rubicon 6 speed with 285/70-17 got close to 10 going to the coast running 80. I can get closer to 18 locally. Took 4 fuel stops lol.
