I bought a '95 F-150, 4.9l engine... basic work truck. It does have AC, power steering and power brakes. Nothing else. It is geared for the highway. I drive by the tach, keeping it under 2000rpm. I can get 19mpg on the highway but my brother only gets 15mpg. That shows how much impact the operator has on fuel economy.
By the way, I bought this as a "beater" when I was working on my F-250 with 7.3 Powerstroke. I've run most of the 335,000 miles on the diesel running cooking oil. The gas-burner will get the engine rebuilt with higher compression for running straight ethanol AND/OR woodgas. Yes, it will have a gasifier in the bed. No gasoline unless nothing else is available.
