Lotta things come into play.. tire size...head wind...stop and go traffic.. but them things aside somewhere between 11 and 19 MPG would be normal for different drivers and circumstances..

I got 19 last tank of gas on my 87 with 225's and a automatic.

Why can't you figure it out? I've gotten anywhere from 13MPG to almost 23 MPG depending on tires and gears and what kind of driving I do.

I've gotten a worst of 11.something while towing
and a best of 26.2mpg with the A/C running in a supercab
with 4.10 gears and a mazda 5sp with 235/75-15 tires.

Average was more like 19-21 "around town" and 23-25 out on the open road.

Haha. Not to jack to thread but I find it kind of funny that the user name "ranger" hadn't been registered until recently.

I get anywhere between 17.5 and 21 in combined driving. Thats with 31-10.50 mud tires, 4.10 gears, and a heavy foot, the truck has 274K miles on it as well

the best i got was 27mpg all hi way
and commute 80 miles a day with some stop and go traffic, and get 23mpg every fill up.
I just installed a electric fan and hope it gets better.
