I'm lucky to get 25 city/back roads LOL

and I HAD a welded rear so my city/back road MPG was worse before I put an open carrier back in it.

I guess it's the gearing. 700 junk R, NP208 junk that blows out of 2hi under hard breaking, and 3:08 ratios. I'm running stock suspension, stock tire size, every like 6-8 months I use fuel booster, I keep my side windows up as much as I can, and I downshift rather than give it more fuel.
