It depends:
12 mpg = 80 mph into 50 mph headwind :p
23 mpg = 80 mph with 50 mph tailwind :)
About 17-18 mpg almost-all-highway average for me. '05 4.7L CC 4x4.

i have a '05 dak w/v-8, and the getrag 6 speed. If I accelerate gradually, and drive conservatively (not that it's any fun) i can get around 20 mpg based on the on-board computer, currently i am at 20.3. And that is around town driving. I can go a month on one tank and since it costs 60 dollars a tank to fill up, i will trade the acceleration and torque, unless I really need it. Besides, the tranny has really broken in well, shifts crisply.

50/50 highway/city driving I get between 15-17. Not bad, but a lot less than the 35 I was getting with my last car.
