My recently purchased 1992 Ford F150 managed 19.5 MPG for 155 miles (first check).
I was hoping for 20 but I did not use any special routes or anything more than basic driving technique.
With only 85K miles on a 19 year old truck I should be able to get it to the low to mid 20S for mileage, maybe higher with some aero improvements. We'll see what happens, but it won't get driven anywhere near as much as the bikes.
300 FI six, 5 speed with .79 OD 5th and 2.73 rear axle. Should be best combo for mileage.
