oh yeah, base MPG figures...
A few days ago I figured the highway numbers to be 16.7 MPG.
I simply fueled up before leaving town, and fueled back up when I got home, and on the second fuel up I noted how many gallons was used. Then I divided the number of miles driven by that number. Because the bigger tires throw off the speedo a little (I'm actually going 75 mph when it says I'm going 70) the odometer is also off a little. So I used Google Maps to find out exactly how many miles it was between gas stations
Next I'll get some city data, though it will be less accurate as I won't be able to use google maps, will have to rely on odometer
