to chime in with maybe relavent info, with my 1989 3.0 and the 35-12.50 MTRS, running 4.10 gears I have found that the odometer reads 8.1 km for 10 km travelled. Filled up, drove approx 80 km hiway, running around 100-110 km/hr (actual), filled up again. Calculated 13.6 l/100km, or 20 mpg (imp)
I don't' see how you drive that thing, It must be so incredibly slow......

I think you'd have to be wheeling a lot every day to make it worth while......it takes like 20 seconds to get out and lock them. Definatley unlock them if you aren't going off road or expecting hazardous weather.

Here is a interesting tid bit of information I found online. This is the specs for the 1987 model year. It supports the 17.2 gallons capacity others claim. Has anyone else made the switch to the SR5 instrument cluster and found that the gas gauge doesn't reflect the correct level of the actual fuel level?

The gas gauge on any vehicle is usually inaccurate to some degree. Mine doesn't even work anymore. On my Ford it still works, but I still keep track of miles rather than just watchint the gauge.
Where did you find the info on the truck? that looks like a sales brochure from way back when.

Ok, well if you had stock 235s, or whatever they were, and you go up to 31's, take the miles you went on the tank and add 10% of the amount to it. say you went 200 miles on the tank, add 20 miles to that, THEN divide by the gallons. And that will give you an accurate reading.
