Maybe if the mob is a bunch of hillbillies from WV...
. We took the wife's sploder on a road trip before the rona situation and it got 17mpg as long as you kept it under 75mph, the mpg dropped when the engine was over 2k for whatever reason... with her current commute it's down to 15mpg so we got her a camry. I'm pretty sure the 40k miles I put on mine I averaged 16ish mpg
She got use to feeding that german garbage truck X5, and then my Ram when I was fixing the A/C in the Lancer and getting the exploder ready for her to drive when she needs it. That Lancer was still getting 31.6mpg hwy and 26.9 back road last I looked. She hasn't driven the exploder enough for us to tell mpg but I dont really care about fuel costs. I daily a cammed 5.0 ranger even to Philadelphia when I had my lung doctor shit there, we are 2hrs from there.They are great drivers, as long as you can live with 16mpg... that thing being a spring chicken at 99k miles it might get 17.5 but don't get too optimistic
. Lord only knows what plans you already have planned for this wife’s new ride whenever it comes in. 
Trust me.... when I finally get my 29 done and start doing stuff to this besides making a nice driver, he may take it as a competition.....I’m really hoping that 85_Ranger4x4 is not scouring the internet for a 1st gen explorer. Yes, they are great explorers (my mom had a 96, loved that SUV) but NO more projects!!!
