Not real sure of the mpg as my speedo is not currently working but i guess around 14 to 16. The biggest flaw to the 8.1 is a lack of aftermarket parts and the deep oil pan. Nobody makes an oil pan and with my front bumper only three inches off the ground I only have about five on the oil pan. I drive pretty aggressive and havent hit it yet, but I cant get over speed bumps without dragging hard. There is no doubt its a tire frier and head turner and I wouldnt pull it for nothing.
