i just thought i would brag a little bit here. I have a 92 with a FI 351. been doing a few upgrades here and there: new spark plugs( autolite i think) a k&n air filter, new wires, new cap and rotor, better tires( the guy i bought the bronco from had car tires on it). and a few other minor things.
anyway, when i got the bronco this january it was getting about 13 mpg. now i am getting almost 21 mpg. still spending the same amount of money since every time i do something to get better miliage, the gas prices go up but i am visitting the gas station less often now. :)>-

It must be flat in your neck of the woods to get 21 mpg. Here in Washington you can't go anywhere without going up a hill or mountain. My F350 w/ a 460 gets 6-8mpg pulling the Bronco on a flat bed trailer, up the pass I get about 2mpg. Watch that guage go! :blink:
