I'm averaging 18mpg in mixed city/highway driving with my stroker. Highway for me is an indicated 85-90mph so I don't think that's too bad. I was getting 20-21mpg with my old 4.0 though, but I wasn't getting on the gas as much either. Stroker power's proving to be very addictive.

mixed, when i can i do 55 on non-highways (better brakes would be nice). Alright... i just want to know if its really worth building an engine for this beast.

This has been a very heavy decision on my mind as well as of late. I would assume that foced induction of either kind, if not always used "balls to the wall", would help mileage.

any time you can build a motor with more tourge you can get great milage is ya stay out of the gas and let the low end ower work for you.

Yes, putting more power into a motor by bolt on or forced induction, but without increasing displacement, should increase mileage.
