Miles per gallon - What are you getting?

Dieselweasle, thought I'd practice Canadian............my calculator of 400 km puts you at 248.5 miles (KM = .621371192 per mile) @ 248.5 miles with 89.9 liters = 23 US gallons.
This puts you at 10.8 miles per gallon (here in your town).
I'd say it's a keeper (for a gasser). I'd get a 318 Dak over a Ranger though (4.10 gears too).
Diesels running $4.00 per gallon hear in the US (nothing to brag about there). Best of luck with your move. K.

I'm getting into the trades, so a better job= better money, so I may make it into a toy and find another older Ford with the 300 6 in it and have that as my DD. Worst MPG I've ever had in that was 16 in town. I was expecting to take a hit with the gas mileage with this truck, but not this bad. Plenums good and I do need to change the plugs, that hopefully will help
Those old Ford straight 6s were awesome. Can't blame ya.

Awesome, and pretty much indestructible. Friend of mine had one in his work truck, over 300K miles, and all he ever did to it was maintenance. The frame rusted out and broke, but the engine still ran great. I think he dropped it into another truck, and drove that one for another couple years as well.
