Hey guys.. I finally was able to bring it home!!!

I found that it already had the pig pumps removed and I was told it will need a new cam eventually..

What do you think my MPG will be if I simply cruse, not being on the gas alot.

Probably upwards of 20mpg

That's it?!

Completely different vehicle, but we have an 87 Dodge Ram 50 (2.0 Mitsu motor) with an automatic and average around 22-24.

4cyl trucks are never as good as 4cyl cars for the most part.

Id say 20-25mpg in town and maybe 30mpg highway. What did you expect 40mpg? Its still heavy even if it doesnt have 4wd.

You guys are lucky. My 98 Frontier 2.4L 5 speed only gets around 15 16 mpg. And it barely makes it up big hills!:ermm:

No.. about 28-30.. But it's better than my dads truck.. 11mpg

My buddy has kinda the same setup as the 87 ranger and he gets about 28 mpg highway.

I have a 94 Isuzu pickup with the 2.3L 5 speed and average about 18 mpg and that's only driving around town.

not even close.

My son has this same truck and he gets about 18 to 20.

I laugh and some of the fuel milage people clame to get.

I also own a 95 geo tracker, anybody want to guess at the millage I get? The guy I bought it from said around 26 MPG. I told him he was crazy when I bought. Now when I started driving it the first thing I did was check the millage. 20mpg if I drive like granny going to church.

Honda4LifeWes36....ask your buddy if he wants to sell his truck?
