facebook is gay, I like watching old commercials, figured at least one person on here hasn't seen it.

I got 30mpg on a recent trip to NJ, 89 2wd ex cab 3.27's, but I doubt they drove it like I do.

The EPA mileage estimates in that era were basically done on a chassis dyno and ignored things like wind resistance. In the real world, that truck probably produced around 24 MPG highway at the federally mandated 55 MPH in place at that time

Found something that is probably linked the the unusual mpg number,

Idiot book states F100 and F150 4x2 with 2.47 or 2.75 rear ratio, the cam has .002 less lift than all others.... .002 doesn't seem like much, cant find any duration specs.
