Might not even get that. The 6 is only a 3.0L and the 4 is a 2.4L, not much
difference is engine size there.

I love this thread.

Guys, vehicles use gas period, deal with it. A bicycle uses no gas.

The first rule of buying a car is to take whatever the seller says out the
window. You should have asked opinions on here on MPG before buying the
truck.

Some truth to this. However, fuel mileage can be an indication of the health
of the vehicle. In my case I was getting 12.5 when I was supposed to get
somewhere close to 15. The service manager wanted to argue with me until it
was determined that a baffle had brkoen in my muffler. When the muffler was
replaced under warranty, my mileage jumped up to 14.5.

Speaking of bicycles, we'll all be peddling one around the end of the decade
since the world oil supply reached its peak in 2000 and almost no new
reserves are being found now. This planet's supply is drying up quick.

Is your truck a 4x4 or 4x2? I have a 86.5 V6 4x2 and get over 20 mpg on the
freeway. The 4x4's suck up a few more mpg than the 4x2's.

Well, I've got a 1997 single cab, 4cyl, 5-speed, 2wd and mine varies a lot.
I have a canvas tonneau cover, which i'm sure helps but it's still all over
the place. This last fill up I got 21.5mpg doing almost all city driving.
Usually, with mixed driving I get around 24mpg though, I must've been a
little deeper into the gas this week. I went to Dallas a few weekends back,
went slow, probably averaged 55-60mph and managed to get 28.6mpg out of the
truck. Week after that I went to Houston and was in a hurry, doing 75-80mph
the whole way and barely got 22mph.

All these are with a pretty empty truck, I never really carry much of
anything with me. I'd say you've got something wrong or a very heavy foot if
your gas mileage is that poor. How many miles are on the truck? Mine has
~80k but has been babied.. maybe check your o2 sensors? I've never gotten <
20mpg, i've only had the truck for about 2 months/5k miles though.. Hope
that helps.
