21 hiway/ 18 city. Rented a car hauler trailer and towed the Ranger to Hearne Texas. Averaged 15 MPG at 65mph over the rolling hills of central Texas. Plenty of power, only came out of 6th when almost topping the steepest hills.

Gave the Ranger to a friend and his wife as they have had no running vehicle for several months. It is 32 miles to the nearest grocery store and they were depending on there son to take them.

He almost cried, she did. I also paid for the title transfer and filled the tank.
