...which I think is still possible at 65 mph considering that my father's old '77 F-250 4x4 with the 4-speed, crew cab and short bed did 21 mpg at 65 mph.
Once upon a time I did an exhaustive search of the EM garage for full-size V8 pickup mpgs. IIRC nobody was able to average even 20. So color me hiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhlllllllyyyyy skeptical of that old beast getting 21 at that speed.
