Fuel Milage

Fuel Milage
I asked this question in the bronco section but this Forum get may more traffic.
I just picked up ANOTHER 96 Bronco. 302, 5 speed, 3.55 gears and 30x9.50 tires
What should I expect for milage? I set the cruise on 65 and get passed by everybody. Anything I could do to help/hurt milage?

I think you should be happy to average anything over 12...I always got 9-10 with my mazda trans and 302, which put my trucks weight right around 4750 with me in it and a 10.25 rear. I think with the stockish sized tires 12average is realistic expectation with a good possibility of doing substantially better.
I think if you were to use CC on the highway you could squeeze quite a bit more on a roadtrip.
for mileage increase, it depends on how crazy you want to get. best bang for the buck, and ease, would be long tubes and high flow (or super high flow [no]) cats. not a bad idea to get some fresh synthetics in the trans/tcase/rear either, unless you know the trucks history.

what engine and trans is in your other bronco? 35's and 456 roll nicely on the highway, unless theyre aggressive tires.

There is a procedure to get into the PSOM and put in revolutions per mile to calibate it. You can only do it 6 times though
