So I dont think i have a mechanical problem and I dont have enough information to determine my own mileage. But here it is. I bought my 96 LC-80 with the 4.5L motor seven days ago. The PO had a full tank of fuel in it. Well, the gauge was on the "full" line. And the previous owner warned me that the gas mileage is extremely poor . He even asked me if I had another car for long travels(I do). And FYI: I am unconcerned with fuel milage and am not complaining. So in an average work week I drive a total of 5miles and on the weekends, anywhere from 0-50 miles depending on what we do. Well, in the last 7days I have done 210 miles. 50miles was just getting it home and about 75 of those miles was pulling a trailer with 3 ATV's. The rest was just "glory driving" my new toy. The funny thing is that its been on "E" for about 20miles. From my research I see it has a 25gallon fuel tank. So on average, should i expect 200miles from 20gallons?
I did a search and found fuel mileages ranging from 5-6 and as high as 17mpg. So, im just curious what your tire and motor combo is and what kinda mileage are you getting. also please note any uogrades that have helped conserve fuel.
