The Sonoma used to get 16-17 WITH the A/C and 18-20 without. All this was mostly highway driving too.
    That Sonoma was a damn comfortable ride though (sighs).
    The poor MPG might have something to do with the gearing. I have an identical truck (same year and engine) and I get 17-19 mpg (very little highway driving) which I still think totally sucks. One of my sons has a V8 F-150 that gets the same MPG as my Ranger yet has twice the bed load capacity and probably way more towing capacity.

    My bad, never got the camera out to take them. Right after installing it, we got 3 or 4 days of rain, so I never got back to it. Guess i better go do that.
