Geez, is that on the highway? That's about what my 4.8 got on the highway before the mods!!! Damn, did you have to re-fuel, or did you do that all on one tank. If so, that's impressive.

5,500 more miles and you'd have a long range bomber on your hands.

Nice Job!
The best job I've done is 386 running on fumes. The 4.10's and 4x4 hurt me
Best mpg 18.6 100% highway
Worst mpg 14.2
Avg mpg 15.8

Oh yeah I got the 5.3
