You ever stop to think that maybe the problem with the Tracker was the gas gauge? Or maybe you, for believing it?
The last vehicle I owned that got 10 mpg was an 85 F250 with a 460 and a 4-speed stick that was geared such that the engine roared at 3,000 RPM at 65 mph--and that was only when pulling a trailer. For a Tracker to get 10 mpg, it must have been dragging a frozen wheel.
