wow whatsyour  mpg someyhing like id guess 5mpg thats wicked

Naw, they aren't that bad.  The blower increases the effeciency, a good tune make the engine run clean, I can get 14.x on the highway even with 4.56 gears if I keep my speed down and foot lifted.  In town it drops pretty bad due to the converter maybe 9-10mpg.

I thought you were doing much better than that.  I'm doing about 15.  I think the converter is hurting me.

When I say in town, I'm talking about driving back and forth to work, 3 miles of stop and go driving, up and down hills, ect.  The 6 cyl Jeep doesn't do any better under those conditions. 

The most that I have ever got since going to 4.56 gears is 16.  To do that you have to set the cruise on 65.  I only got 13 on the trip that I followed you back from Huntsville at 85-90.

Huh, I got 16 mpg.  You must have been driving too fast...............

So much for the drafting theory.
