list the following:

mods you have done (ie cold air, throttle body spacer, etc..)
what octane fuel used usually

1997
168K miles
16.5 mpg (pretty much split between highway and back roads)
Using airbox from an older XJ that pulls air from behind the drivers side headlight, K&N filter, bored TB, Ford injectors and Magnaflow muffler and hi-flow cat, a light foot
87 Octane (usually has ~10% ethanol)
5.5" lift & 33's

Also, even if you don't have great mileage, a wise man once told me, it's not about the miles per gallon, but the smiles per gallon, haha
