MPG check - (Tire Size, Fuel Type, Lt/Med/Hvy, Range)

[pfran42]

Let's keep this simple. I am well aware that there are many factors that affect your MPG. Please just list your stats and use the PM function if you have questions/comments for a particular post. I figure this will be a useful thread to check to see if your fuel economy is in line with other similarly equipped 100s. It will also let you know if your fuel economy is dropping off due to overdue PM, mechanical issues, mods, etc.

I'll start...
