thats 19 miles to gallon . i remember them days. before some clutch mods. i used to get 20-23 miles a gallon out of the '92 and '93 but the went down to 13-14 with a solid flywheel thats the only thing i can figure that done it.

I had been getting about 15mpg in my '88 Maxivan with a raised top.

I just got into my first IDI truck and was surprised with the mpg's on my first tank. The truck is a 91 crew F350 dually 4x4 5 speed with the ATS turbo kit and 4.10 rear. I would say it was 60/40 highway/city and I got 18.5. I'm quite please being as that I rarely got that with my old 12v Cummins 4x4 truck, and that truck was a 3.55 rear end with singles in back and not a crew cab.

When I had my 89 idi reg cab 5 speed I averaged 19. I'm thinkin of tryin to find another one to drive to work
