I usually fill the tank on my Cherokee at about 300 to 320 miles but
have let it go as far as 360 miles (not willingly, but in can be hard to
find a gas station open after midnight in the Asheville NC area!).
Well tonight it was still showing about a 1/4 tank of gas but I'd gone
350 miles so filled up. It took exactly 14 gallons.
350 miles... 14 gallons of gas, that's 25MPG!
Out of a 4.0 Cherokee that's phenomenal.

That's only about TWICE the mileage that I get with mine.
You sure someone didn't slip five bucks worth in while you weren't looking?

No, no one slipped any gas in <G>. I usually get 20 to 22 so it's not
THAT outrageous and I might have done a bit more slow cruising along
back roads than normal, but it's still the best I've ever gotten out of it.

I'm lucky if I get 19 mpg on long highway trips, and I only average
about 13-14 around town. :(
