My DD was my 91 Z28. It averaged 19 between city/hwy. Now while that car is down while my 355 is being built I am driving my godfathers 81 F-350 ranger. Its a good truck, but that mother ****** is extremely slow and just averaged 12mpg!

It gets worse MPG than my F-body, on lower octane gas. Also runs an 11.2 consistent at Irwindale in 4WD (air locker FTW). 2WD results in a one-wheel-peel from the 31x10.5x15 Procomp AT's. 420k miles. 2nd motor. Am working on mounting rectangular off-road lights to the rack. Full suspension (Skyjacker lift kit, JKS quick disconnects, swaybars, torsion bar, etc.), differential breather relocation tubes, 3.55 gears, upgraded t-case, diff/trans skid plates, shift kit, coolers for everything but oil, OEM rear tire rack, front tow hooks, tow hitch, RotorsOnline drilled/slotted front rotors (lol)... After the lights, it just needs a cage, a snorkel, and some gas cans (aka ways to make it have even worse MPG)...

Seeing the prices climb up like this again, I'm glad I kept my 91 mitsu mighty max and ninja 250 haha. Contemplated selling them to buy parts for the camaro, but I'll probably hang onto them for a bit

You're like a Rockefeller compared to me. I have to live in a shanty lean-to in a mobile home park and park my cars in a tent to keep the cars and the guns.
