Fuel economy thread

Everytime I post in an automotive forum, it seems like there's a fuel economy thread. Thought I'd start one here.

Just post your vehicle, mods (if any), and driving style along with your fuel economy. If you use a the imperial system and want to convert to metric, just type (xx)mpg in l/100km into Google and it'll do the math for you. I'll start.

'99 Dodge 1500 conversion van, 360ci (5.9l) OHV Magnum V8, 4-speed auto, 3.55:1 gears. Rolling hills, conservative driving style, lots of cruise control, little a/c use, apx. 75% in-town/25% highway use.

13.8mpg / 17l/100km average, best was 15.69mpg or 15l/100km (which I can improve upon)
