denny (sandwich) posted up some time ago about fuel mileage. this peaked my curiosity so after renovating the tank sending unit, i thought i'd do some "non-destructive testing" to see where my 50, 3/4 ton came in, in comparison to the other folks on this site.
my speedo is off by a few miles per hour, but it is still the best source for my current findings.
looks like i"m in the 13 m.p,g, area. i could tweak the carb some, and look at other methods for improving mileage, but at 13, i'm still getting better results than vehicles built 57 years later.
sad that either we can't evolve beyond antiquated methodologies, or we are just too passive to allow ourselves to accept the poor results from money hungry corporations bent on making the next buck to finance their next indulgence.
