OK I'm reading a post tonight about if a fellow member should get a Ranger or a Ram or an F-series. Responders came back with good feedback then added MPG figures in the mix.
So here is what I would like to know. I want feedback on my 2 babies VS yours. Real figures on what you get and why (if you want) as to the reason you get good or bad MPG. I don't understand how a 4 cyl with a manual and in good running condition can get that bad of an MPG rating.
Here is my trucks and what mods are done:
My 93 XLT 4x4 with a 4.0 and A4LD is bone stock and hasn't had a tune up yet averaged 18.4 MPG combined on the last 8 tanks never going below 18.
My 94 Splash 4.0L 5Sp with 73mm BBK mass air, 66mm Central Coast throttle body, Accel 24lb injectors, Chip, Flowmaster short exhaust get's 22.1 average combined religiously and when I drive this I don't "conserve" if ya get my meaning.
Curiosity killed the cat so get out yer bats guys!!
