Do these things do well on veggie oil?

the auto tranny will bring it down some, matters how heavy ur foot is also.

they shoudl get around 16-18 on highway, more if tuned and timed right.

i used to get 25mpg on the highway at 75 mph with a 4 speed manual and 35 inch tall tires and 3.55 gears. not sure on rpms. no tach

My 6.9 gets around 15. I live in Pittsburgh, so it's all city driving. My pump is turned up 1 flat.

I average around 14-15, got as good as 18. The auto is supposed to be better for the highway, my mpg above 60 really sucks with the 5spd. I get better city mileage. I would think you had 3:55 gears, I have 4:10's with 285's and at 60mph I'm turning just under 2k rpm.
