Red face gas milage

oops....
the webs a big place. I guess all the figures quoted here are in US Gallons. I said i get 13mpg and 15 mpg but thats imperial (english?) gallons, so i probably only get about 10.5 mpg in US gallons!

gas milage

Driving a big Bronco for a daily driver can get expensive fuel wise. I love my big Bronco but I don't use it for transportation to and from work. I do use it on the weekends to pull the boat or go play in the mud and when I'm playing gas mileage is not a concern.

a couple of things to think about are installing electric cooling fans and removing the stock clutch fan (probably not a good idea if you do a lot of towing). another area to check is that yor axle ratio is the best one for mileage.
