Well some douche bags stole the batteries out of my 71 toyota electric truck project, and since I don't have the moolah to replace them right now, I am thinking of changing plans in the short term.
I have a 94 ranger with a crappy body and a nice running gear with a mechanical fan delete, manual brakes, no a/c 2.3 4cyl and 5 speed I can get just over 30 mpg mixed city and highway, and I can break 40mpg at 45mph.
The Toyota is from one of there smaller years, a real mini truck, with about 60% of the frontal area of the ranger and weighing in at almost 1000lbs less. And a sweet body, much better shape than the ford.
What kind of mileage numbers can I expect from a re power if I have same axle ratio and that much less weight/frontal area?
Thanks in advance keepers of the physics knowledge.
