I haven't had time to check it out yet but my daughter's '88 Bronco gets horrible gas mileage. Usually 10-12 mpg or less, on the highway. It takes her almost a full tank (32 gallons) to drive from Woodbridge Va to Camp Lejeune NC, a little over 300 miles. The Bronco has a 5.0L engine, Auto (overdrive ????) trans, and P235 tires. I asked her what does the tach show when she is on the road, and she said it turns 2500 rpm at about 56mph. I don't think it is going into overdrive.
