Have you ever driven a 3.0L Ranger? Gas mileage goes to hell in a handbag once the tach passes 2500 and gets worse past 3000 when it gets noticeably richer. This one has a kick to it like the old 4 barrel carbs when it passes 3 grand while pulling. The only wy to get any kind of mileage from it is to keep your right foot very light. If I drove the way I prefer to drive most of the time then I'd get an honest 15 mpg from this truck and there's nothing wrong with it either. It's tight and in good tune.

Everyone I know that has a Ranger is getting mileage similar to what I'm getting, and I know several people that drive Rangers. They're poor as poor can be for fuel mileage when it comes to little trucks.
