Gears? Kind of driving? I've gotten significantly worse than that (9.5MPG) and better (15+MPG), depending on where and how I'm driving.

Its a stock dana 28 from 89 so i guess it would be 410's. The transmission is auto and i'm driving it 55 miles exactly on the highway. I measured the distance using another car, my trip is still wrong cause of the 33's.

if your trip is wrong, its hard to calculate exact mileage. unless you do NOTHING but 55 miles a day....

What i did was, i filled it up before i left. I drove 55 miles EXACTLY, then filled the tank back up and divided the miles by the amount of gas i used and then i got 12.34. 12.34 is what it is getting highway, all im asking is if this is normal or should i be getting more?

Auto combined with 4.10s isn't enough gear, you need 4.56s.

Like 14, but I do 70+ and I'm turning heavy and aggressive super swampers.

I would like to point out that we don't KNOW that he has 4.10s. 3.45 was a much more common ratio that year.

Has nothing to do with year, if it was a factory auto, it should either be 3.73s or 4.10s, and it's a moot point, because it still needs 4.56s gears, which we know it doesn't have.
