Robertsmalls - I don't drive a whole heck of a lot of highway, and when I do, it's usually a minimum of 10 miles, typically longer. I'm not too hard on it on the shorter runs. On the longer ones, a single WOT pass up to 60 is a drop in the bucket over say, 350 miles (such as the run to college on Tuesday). Part of the reason for me being so low compared to EPA is that until now, 90% of my driving was city driving, where the beast is only rated for 11 mpg. In that perspective, pulling 12+ out of it doesn't look as bad, especially with a lot of short trips, and some not-so-efficient routes, where the only more efficient alternative is much longer. Plus, this is just an inefficient vehicle. A Jeep with a 360 in it was never built to get good gas mileage, although it's still better than some large vehicles, or a full size truck.
