I get 16-17 on my 51 and 53, both with overdrive. They are never used in city traffic, mostly are driven on secondary roads with a 40 mile highway trip now and again. Going to Indianapolis a few years ago the 51 got a solid 17 plus at a pretty steady 65.

Short trips in cold weather--going for coffee in December--are very thirsty affairs. Think how much fuel must be burned to bring all that cast iron and 5 gallons of coolant just up to temperature!
