It's (relatively) lightweight, and pretty small so it has less frontal area than current new "small" trucks. It's also 2WD and a stick, unlike a whole lot of new vehicles.

Those are all good reasons that it gets (got) good FE. I'd say run it, and if it ain't right then fix it. If you're handy, you can try pulling the carb a little ways apart and cleaning everything you can. If that doesn't work, you're only out a few hours and a couple of cans of brake cleaner.
