High Gas Prices

Preacher · Jun 11, 2004

i just thought i would brag a little bit here. I have a 92 with a FI 351. been doing a few upgrades here and there: new spark plugs( autolite i think) a k&n air filter, new wires, new cap and rotor, better tires( the guy i bought the bronco from had car tires on it). and a few other minor things.
anyway, when i got the bronco this january it was getting about 13 mpg. now i am getting almost 21 mpg. still spending the same amount of money since every time i do something to get better miliage, the gas prices go up but i am visitting the gas station less often now.

I've been getting 13 on mine if I drive it like a 80 yr old lady, but when I hit on it it drinks down the gas lik I drink Milk, and in NY the gas prices for Premium is 2.24gal, I think I'm doing ok with whats under my hood.

It must be flat in your neck of the woods to get 21 mpg. Here in Washington you can't go anywhere without going up a hill or mountain. My F350 w/ a 460 gets 6-8mpg pulling the Bronco on a flat bed trailer, up the pass I get about 2mpg. Watch that guage go! :blink:
