It was better before the roof rack, mud tires, etc...quite a bit better...but as it sits right now I get about 18L/100Km (that's about 13 MPG for Y'all Americans...assuming my math is correct)
2001 4.7L, driven both city and hwy...the 32" mud tires and roof rack added quite a bit of drag, which is really hurting my fuel efficiency...but as they say, you've got to pay to play...
