Ouch. My 96 was a v6. When I first got the truck I had taken a trip from NJ
to SC and back. I got around 23 mpg on the trip if I remember correctly.
After that I opened up the intake a bit and drove with a heavier foot and
pretty much got 16 mpg all around. Either way, 100 miles on 3/4 tank is
bad.
