Gas Mileage?

I just took an all highway trip putting on 310 miles and put in 14.48 gallons when I filled, topping it off like usuall, giving me 21.4 MPG, average speed was 63. Would have probably done a bit better but my foot got heavy for a couple 100+ MPH runs on some of the long, straight, flat Nebraska roads.

Gas Mileage?

My '99 Ranger 4x4 supercab 3.0 v6 auto would get 12.5-15 in town and on trips no cruise control running 75-80 would get right at 16.5.Was consistent for 3.5 years I had it.Also it always knocked on regular gas,had to run midgrade especcially in summer. Usually in town was closer to 13-14.

Gas Mileage?

I have fueled mine twice so far, 21.6 and 21.8. All stock (so far) running 70 mile round trip to and from work, about 1/2 thru in town traffic, with the a/c on most of the time. I plan on putting in a 2-1/2" cat back exhaust and a air filter mod. I believe both will increase fuel mileage.

I get about 20-21 mpg with mixed highway/city driving. All with AC. It's texas after all.

It's a '96 B2300 5SP

Gas Mileage?

490/59.75=8.2 km per liter
8.16*3.8 (3.8 liter in a US gallon) = 31.16 km per gallon
31.16/1.6 (1.6 km in 1 mile) = 19.475 miles per gallon

AWESOME! Thank you Very much. That makes me very happy to finally know the true mpg I am getting, and that was on a mountain highway with about 150 kilometers being offroad in 4x4. I think 19.475 miles per gallon is pretty good for a 4x4 truck.

Gas Mileage?

I drove across from San Diego to Pensacola and averaged between 22-35 mpg in my 94 Ranger 5 speed 2.3 L with truck bed full and a Leer 700 series tonneau cover with an average speed 70 mph. Believe tonneau assisted with countering wind drag.
