Usually 16 - 18 mpg on a mixed tank of city / highway driving.
The best I've gotten is 21 mpg all highway.
I'm putting in a new air filter, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor this week before a 250 mile road trip, so hopefully I can break 21 this weekend.
This is in a 2003 3.9L atx club cab SXT.

check the signature - 50mm is for takeoff power, not mpg

Wow, talk about resurrecting posts from eternal death.
My '96 3.9L 4x4 gets about 12MPG city (my "city" trips are about 1.5miles).
Highway: Average around 18-19 at 70MPH with A/C. Around 17 at 80MPH with A/C. Top mileage was 19.3 at 65MPH with A/C. Based on my records, my mileage can fluctuate around 1-3MPG highway going the same speed (i.e. one tank I'll get 18, the next I might get 17). Of course, this could be because of differant terrain, or quality of gas.
When I first got my truck, I couldn't break 16 under the same driving conditions, so I guess it just needed a few thousand miles thrown to it  .
Also, it's totally stock at this time.
