I get about 18-19mpg I'm not satisfied with it I know it can do better most of the time with these trucks the bad gas mileage is because of the carb they get old and don't work right along with all of the vaccum lines if something isn't hooked up right it will get bad mileage. The best easiest thing to do is get a weber it will add mileage, power and you will get rid of the vaccum lines

You think that 400 to a tank is bad? I get about 450-500 km's per tank and whats the tank about 40 litre's??

Should be about 55-56 litres if they're the same size as our tanks.

I'm prety sure that my dawg is getting some bad mileage $38.00 to fill at $2.93 a gallon (thirsty little pig), so far 50 miles to a quarter of a tank which would be 14mpg city
