I've got a 79 mikado 4x4, with a weber 32/36, offy intake, pacesetter headers, flowmaster muffler, and I'm only getting 18 mpg. Is this right? I keep hearing others getting up to 30 but I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to be at. I've checked everything and I don't have leaks of any kind, vacuum or liquid. Let me know what you guys think, thanks.

i got a 76 mikado with an auto tranny and it gets about that. mine has a mest up carb though but i would say ya somewhere near 20 is right and the 30 to 40's are the diesels on here lol plus you got more power than the average luv. more power equals more gas. at least i think that is right.
