[QUOTE=Grumpy Rick;1677289]I can tell you what mileage a '71 F250 with 390 motor got. Bought it new, and had it for six years.

Around town...9 mpg
highway empty...9 mpg
highway loaded with 11' camper...9 mpg.
highway with camper towing '71 International Scout...9 mpg.

Oh dang, i didn't think it would be that bad ....i might have to look at s10s and toyotas. Then. As i recall my old s10 got closer to 20mpg (with 4x4).
