Let me throw one more log on this fire.
Maybe the ones that are getting really poor gas milage are ones that have low compression problems and don't know it yet.
My milage certainly got better after they put the new top end on it. Last tank I got 17.8 mostly interstate at 70 MPH..I do have the automatic transmision with adventure package. I have really tried to get better milage by watching the speed and the best I have seen is 18.2. Maybe with careful driving the smaller tires and the 5 speed you can break 20 MPG but I wouldn't have the patience to do it everday.
