At 65mph on the highway, I was averaging about 17 to 18. I'm doing a rebuild and I sorta expect that to improve because of the upgrades I'm doing. My goal is 20.

I truly think the secret is probably with side gapping the spark plugs, which is something I didn't do. Everything else I did was with top of the line parts.

'95 single cab, short bed. 302 4x4 auto. Headers and exhaust. I get a pretty consistent 12 city and 16 highway. Always cruise at about 65 otherwise my mpg's drop significantly after that.
