Just checked it again, with corrections for a 10% speedometer/odometer error I got 13.8 Avg. Not great but not bad considering I beat on it quite a bit on the last tank. Started out last October gettin' 7-1/2.

Hey y'all!

I drive a 1991.5 D350 CTD with the Getrag 5-speed and average 16mpg around town and 19.5mpg on the highway keeping 70mph with about 6-8lbs of boost cruising. Of course my truck does have some performance mods so I'm happy with what I get!

1987 D100
3 speed Auto
Slant Six ( 225 )

I've recently straight piped it, and removed the emissions pump, and also bought a tonneau cover for it, I've calculated over 5 full tank fill ups, I'm now at 20mpg.

I've gained around 6mpgs from straight piping, removal of emissions pump, and tonneau cover. WELL WORTH IT.
