Part of it is, no doubt, the age. I used to have a '90 Ford E150. It got 19 mpg highway when my dad bought it with around 80,000 miles on it. By the time I was driving it, with 160,000 miles, it was getting 15-16 mpg highway and much less around town. David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 Diesel Westfalia '94 Honda Civic Si |
