Good job! King cab? I have owned two Nissan trucks, neither one seemed to do well on mileage. I did own a 87 Toyota regular cab with a 4-speed manual shift( not 5speed. Base model truck) that got 30 mpg. & friends that had the Mazda B2000 mid80's truck that claim to get 30's. Have not heard of ANY trucks getting 30's since then.
My 1997 un modded f150 v6 automatic can get lower 20's so I couldn't see a reason to buy a smaller truck.
