Around here diesel is 20% more than gas. That makes 27 mpg on gas equal to almost 34mpg when you compare it to diesel factoring in the additional cost per gallon (cost per mile).
A lot of the older smaller trucks got decent mileage, but they would never pass todays crash requirements. The Ranger beats 30 consistently. It weighs a little over 2800 pounds. Most of the Japanese imports were under 2500 in the 70s and 80s.
