Ford F-Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scroll down to the Engines list, it lists the specs of the various engines available in the 80-86 trucks.
I know what you mean about thinking of fuel, I've got an '81 (carbed 302) and I'm trying to get the best fuel mileage I can, too.

So long as your motor is in good tune, the number one consideration in mileage is your right foot.
Headers help airflow. If you are always getting into the throttle because of the power, then mileage goes down.
Its all relative.
Best and first thing to do is to get your engine tuned and operating properly.

tuning and lubing, yup.
yeah pretty much. tunig and lubing is on the agenda for the rest of 2010. lol, im already shopping christmas. (headers w flow master exhaust) if all is well at the end of the year of course (lol, i dont like our president). back to the stock hp. no luck. im sure the question is common enough to have a answer some where. I come from a ford family (f series, broncos, and mustangs) 91' bronco 351w 210hp, 93' mustang 302 high output 240hp we think. 86' f150 302 ?hp. the reason for my concern is this. if the power i want is already there. fine tuning and some modification is good enough for me. I've tried haynes and chilton, no luck there. anywho, I'll find it. 
off to the garage. later fellas.

I find a vacuum gauge is a good device to monitor fuel economy, or training your foot to go lightly on the petal. If you can keep the vacuum needle steady, then you are getting the best mileage.
