That number probably isn't too far off. My old '97 Ranger 2.3l Lima gets 27mpg in mixed (60% highway 40% in town) consistently. I would hope that in over 18 years the technology would give the newer Rangers a consistent 27mpg. Especially the 2.3l Duratech. I don't drive 40-45 mph on 2-lane blacktops. 55mph out of town and 35mph in town. I just drive it sensibly.
