I get between 21-22mpg with my 95' Ranger. It is 4cyl/5spd 4x4 4.10s, and 235/75r15s. Mods are K&N FIPK, Magnaflow replacement cat with new 02s, dynomax catback, plugs, and wires. I thought it would be as good as or better than my old 89' S10 which got 26-27mpg. Oh well still not shabby for how I drive it
My 1995 Ext Cab with 3.73 gears and stock P225/60R15 was used as a daily driver from 1996-2007. Living in WI with the drastic temperature range throughout the year allowed me to average 18-20mpg in the colder months (nov-apr) and 21-24mpg during the warmer weather. That's for mostly city driving. In summer with a good mix of highway driving I would get 25.5mpg quite frequently.
I do remember the summer of 1999 when I got 27.5mpg (my personal best to-date) on a roadtrip to Wisconsin Dells with the (then) gf. Amazingly she was driving most of the way....hmm. It was also during August and I recall the temperature/humidity were perfect for efficient combustion...i'm sure that was it, lol.
I now drive a '98 Corolla everyday and is doesn't get all that much better mileage, maybe 26-27mpg at its peak. 1.8L 1ZZFE.
I generally average between 23-26 mpg's with about 80% city driving. That said, the cities I drive through are towns and the roads are two lane state roads. Average speeds are between 45-50 mph on these roads. Best efforts are noted in my Signature Line and vehicle specs to the left. I am hoping to break the 30 mpg barrier, but will have to do some work to get there (perhaps a better breating exhaust and different air filter will do).
