Wow.. I guess I am blessed!

I generally run it until the low fuel light comes on or is close to coming on.
Takes about 17-18 gallons and I get in the 340 to 380 neighborhood.

(see my web page for all my mods)

You guys might have heard of this but its called the helix power tower plus throttle body spacer it fits on almost all rangers and it says it gives you 22 hp and adds 4 miles to the gallon. and its only $83.00 where I found it. For me thats like adding 68 more miles to the tank every time. I'm definitly thinking about buying it.

you use 6% more fuel going 65 to 70 than what? What speed are you basing it on?

The way I read it
At 70 mph, you use 6% more fuel than at 65 mph.
