What kind of mpgs are you guys getting in the SHO? I'm thinking about getting one for my wife. Also stock vs tuned mpgs?(I'm assuming its higher tuned)

Was this based of the trip meter or manually calculating? I have been thinking about an SHO lately and I have a 70 mile round commute and currently getting 17mpg out of my '02 V8 Explorer.

This trip was with the trip counter,i have checked the trip counter manually in the past and it is very accurate in this car. We live 6 miles from town and combined city/highway mpg avg. 22/24 between fill ups.

Stock 23.2, Livernois stage 4 I get 24.2. If I drive it like I stole it and I mean STOLE IT, I get 18 mpg. The mpg's are great for a AWD really heavy car!

mine has the PP gearing and is tuned by Livernois Motorsports. If you drive 60mph on flat road a baby it I can get 30-33 mpg. Driving 75-80 mph more like 26mpg babying it.

average highway and around town i normally average 19-21 mpg but I drive it not baby it. Not sure what the combined mpg would be on driving it real hard a lot. I drive hard but seldom floor it through more than one or two gears.
