How's my Mileage?
Just picked up a 1990 4x4 V6 XtraCab with 35s and 6 inches of lift. What kind of mileage should I be expecting? On my first long drive with the truck, I got about 15 mpg but I was averaging 85-90 mph for a total distance of about 250 miles. How's that sound?

It sounds pretty decent to me considering the speed. Remember, the 35s are going to throw your mpg calculations off a little.
With my 31s at 75-80mph I get about 19mpg. Once I go over 80mph, the mileage starts to drop off.

I assume the gearing has been changed - to what? Is the speedo/odo accurate? What motor? Auto or man?
If stock gearing the speedo is going to be WAY off. If 31's were stock, 80 on the speedo is really 90 mph...http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/4LoCalc.shtml
