I managed to hit 28.7 on my most recent trip.
As far as stuff that would hurt fuel economy...my shocks are completely shot (no pun intended) so I have my tires aired down to 30psi to at least help the ride.
Oh yea', I also had this in the back.
There's probably somewhere in the ballpark of 300lbs of tools in that box too.

94 4.0 5spd ext cab 4x2
I check mileage by writing down the gallons and miles at every fill up and mine consistently gets 21mpg, sometimes 20.5 and others 21.5 so she is pretty consistent. I drive it hard and floor it often and hit the rev limiter a few times every tank. Mileage has remained the same for the last 15 years or so. Mixed country and city driving and towing and empty.

3.27's are high gears.
the higher numerical the number, the lower the gear.
Frank
and yes Topher. I love my RBV's.

I am jealous of Frank's massive RBV-age.
Hehe, does the F-100 count cause it's an explorer

the F-100 is a ranger edition....... just a clever play on words.
Post up any RBV i guess.
