2001 Ford Ranger XLT 2WD, standard cab, short bed, Ford Vulcan 3.0 liter V-6 conencted to a Mazda 5-sp manual overdrive. Last summer I got up to 28.4 mpg empty. But now maybe 22 mpg with 500 lbs of sandbag over the rear axle. Was going to take it for a drive today as the roads are in better condition, but it's so clean and shinny yet.

Still having problems with leaking auto transmission fluid in my car. I cannot see where it's going. Have a new gasket on both the oil pan and valve cover. New lines going between the transaxle and the radiator. The half shafts are dry. Unless it's leaking into the coolant. :confused

Well the book says 15 to 26 mpg,so your getting 2.4 extra miles out of an 8 year old engine:-D

You have to apply for a permit over here to buy a 3.0 litre 6 cylinder car,'kidding'
