5.0 mpg
Now I most definately did not buy a 5.0 ranger for it's fuel economy but i'm getting just over 18.5 mpg with the truck, and the most i've ever got is 19.75 The truck is efi with shorty headers and a moderate cam.
I was wondering what you other 302 guys are getting, just out of curiosity.

The milage between each application is going to variate. VBehical weights, driving habits of each individual driver.. Carb/Efi/ Timing, Cam Profile, Head flow/ spark system.. They all have a factor and can variate up to 10mpg ( big loppy cam and a carb might make 12mpg, a well tuned EFI setup CAN make 22mpg ). 10mpg is a lot/extreeme, but it is a reality.
Emissions laws/equipping are whats going to cause ( probably ) the biggest variance in efficiency between all the trucks.

I completely agree with you 'D', but that's half the fun of this thread to see what others are getting with what type of set up. No one drops in a 302 for fuel economy.
For more detail on mine EFI 302, moderate cam, shorty headers, dumped exhaust, 3.73 rear gear, 31" tires, with an AOD transmission. Very loose emissions laws here in michigan...
