sells broucher

I was looking at sells broucher for the 1982 ford trucks, an 82 F-150 Pickup 2WD, 5.0 Liters, 4 Speeds, Automatic Transmission, 2 Venturis Carburetor MPG should get 16 city and 24 hwy. Well I own a truck with the same description and I get nowhere near those numbers. Can anyone help me understand what im doing wrong?

Nobody else does, either. And, probably no one ever did get those #'s as the EPA #'s were known to be wildly inflated. Further, that was in the day of 55 MPH speed limits, which no one drives anymore. And, that was using real gasoline and not gas with 10% alcohol, which has less energy per gallon.

IOW, if they ever got those MPG's back then you won't get them today as it is highly unlikely you'll match the conditions.
