I used to get 13 or so with my one ton extended van with the same engine
and
several hundred pounds of tools in it; I was hoping this might do better
than mid to high teens. Fuel consumption is always a concern for me these
days, so don't want to go backwards. If I drive without concern my jeep
gets 21... I can get 25 or more with just a little care. It is, however,
a
five speed.
