Highway
1976 6.5 NA 5sp 4x4 17mpg 70mph
M1008 6.2 NA TH400 4x4 11mpg 55mph max
2000 6.5 TD 5sp 2wd 21mpg 70mph I've gotten 23 but it's an outlier typically she runs 20-21.

Town
1976 6.5 NA 5sp NP208 4x4 14mpg
M1008 6.2 NA TH400 NP208 4x4 9-10mpg
2000 6.5 TD 5sp 2wd 18mpg

LT265 70 R16 tires on all three
The CUCV has 4.56:1 axles... According to my spreadsheet... at 55mph she tachs out at 2100. That sounds about right. At 65 she should be turning 2600 and it sounds like the engine is trying to climb out from under the hood.

The other two have 3.73:1 axles. They tach out at roughly 2100 at 70mph.

I think the CUCV needs a 4L80.

Re: fuel report
 

89 TBI 350 K5, 700r4, 33x12.5x15, very tired 273k engine

full tank before last only netted me 9.62 mpg
filled up last night and came up with 11.66 mpg

No idea what was different. Prior to the 9.62 tank I'd overhauled the fuel system (new pump/sender/fuel filter/rebuilt TBI & new injectors)

I have a new EGR valve to swap in, hoping that will help me some.

I buy real gas, hovers over $3.60/gal here.

Re: fuel report
 

don't want to know but seems as thought the 502 is always thirsty. just happy to have 2 tanks until it's time to pay..saw premium at $4.19 a gallon yesterday! still a fun ride when i drive it. may check some day.

Re: fuel report
 

Ive never checked and probably won't. I know it's crappy so I just know I just put 20 bucks in at a time and that lasts about two days lol.
