I get an average of 17 mpg (city/highway), around 1900-2400 rpm's. Overdrive on the highway kicks them way down, which helps a lot.
my mileage depends on my mood. lol. if my day is awful i have a heavy foot but if im in good mood i drive 60-65 mph and get a good mileage. i get like what everybody gets in here 17-18 mpg. it also depends on the maintenance of your auto parts
really depends on your final drive ratio. This is including trans type, gear ratio and tire size. For my 96, it likes the higher RPM's, so with 235's and 3.73 gears, 2600-3100 is optimum range. Have not driven the 99 enough to determine yet
probably between 2k to 2.5k. but honestly its the accerlating that kills the mpg. if you hop of the freeway, you can be at 3k, 3.5k, and get 20mpg. obvisouly lower rpm will give you better, but constant rpm is the best.
ive heard the 1500 rpm but ive found a 4L,std trans will lug a bit in 5th gear at 1500 so IMO id try for 1700 rpm and monitor
hi I'm told run at 1500 rpm =I have a 5speed and this rpm is in 5th gear and 80 kms per hour =all factory ,,no mods,,==I do get 28miles per gal { Canadian gallons ) not to forget =4L 5std ranger 2010
