19 mpg on the freeway and 15-16 mpg average in daily driving with my twin plugged, high compression 3.0 on MFI. This motor makes 245 hp and 230 ft lbs of torque (216 and 201 at the wheels).
Bryan, don't let anyone tell you that MFI is a poor second or third choice, employed only by those holdouts among us looking for "period correctness" or getting a bit too nostalgic. It's an outstanding induction system that may never be matched for sheer performance. The throttle response is unmatched by anything else, as is the induction sound. It would be
the "finishing touch" on your twin plugged 2.4.
Complete, entirely usable MFI systems that would be suitable for your 2.4 are out there, and regularly sell for a fraction of what you would spend on any sort of decent EFI setup. Tired, but entirely rebuildable MFI systems are out there for even less. Even if you have to piece a system together, and get the pump and throttle bodies rebuilt, you still won't approach the cost of any sort of EFI.
