never really now honestly if someone drove the piss out of it and hardly changed the fuel filter/spark plugs/air cleaner it could get horrible gas mileage but usually somewere in the high 20's

dont know my mpg,but I can do about 425 KM to a full tank. I find if it's at a full tank,it takes about 75 miles (~120km) to use a 1/4 tank.

Not the greatest things on fuel. Small tank,so it's cheap to fill up,but I find I fill up more often. I had a Ford Contour with a 2.5L V6,manual and a 57L tank and I could go just over 600km to a full tank,and it would take me over 200km to use a quarter tank from full. That car was good on gas,and I had that car for a year,so I'm still adjusting to figure out my fuel economy on the truck. So far I'm not very impressed. I guess having a carb doesn't help matters much either. I would think an FI one would be more fuel efficient by a little bit.

My B2200 aint too great but got better with a new Accel coil, rejetted carb and a little head work. Gets 23-24 in town better on the road but I also have an automatic and air and cant expect too much. BJ
