Yes,the grille block,aeroshell,and belly/rocker/skirt mods got me from 25,to 30-mpg.
Adding the tail pushed it to an average 34 mpg @ 65 mph.I've seen almost 40-mpg @ 60 mph on three occasions.
Going from 10% ethanol gasoline to a TDI powerplant is said to be a 30% mpg boost.So the 34 mpg would be expected to go to 44 mpg with the oil burner.
I think that the Ranger is aerodynamically similar to the T-100,and should react similarly.
Must be nice 'starting' at 39-40 mpg!
