they also had v6's also which got good power and mpg's

I got a 00 2wd 3.0 auto single cab with stock size tires. .. And i filled up in tennesee... went to see my parents in alabama and came back . and i went 425 miles on that tank.. I filled up again and it held 15.6 gallons. I even filled up at the same station as before.. It got like 27.2 mpg.. I was going 55 pretty much the whole way on the highway.. Still dont see how im getting such good milage.. I got dynomax exhaust.. Kn airfilter with the snorkle removed.. Autolight double platinum plugs.. Autolight professional series wires.. 16inch Efan.. Use mobil 1 5w-30... replaced the filter and fluid in the tranny.. Put mobil synthetic fluid in the rearend.. And a bed cover.. Gunna work on getting underdrive pullies next see how good it goes... I guess gas milage just depends on weight and how u take care of ur vehicle not just the engine..

if you're driving mostly highway, it could be your gear ratio, 4.10 gearing with stock size tires will get higher fuel economy in the city, whereas the 3.73 gearing is a better balance of both. Also location and how much you have to stop and go also plays a big factor. In NJ doing town driving/highway i get about 20 mpg average, whereas out here in lafayette indiana, i get 16-17, due to all of the stop signs and unsyncronized traffic lights, so i'm doing a whole lot of stop go driving which is lame.
also with the gear ratio, tire size also come into play too.

I'm getting right around 16 with 33x12.50's and my stock 4.10's. I have an automatic ext. cab 3.0. Stock I got right around 17.5 mpg so it's not too much of a loss. This is all driving the same route, mostly city, everyday with about the same temperature. Also I think the K&N CAI and Flow's help alot with fuel economy. I'm going to try out the pullies and e-fan eventually and I think that'll put me over stock even with my tires.
