I have an 84 bronco 2 and i was getting 18 mpg now i only get about 11 with my hubs unlocked in the winter i'm not sure if it's because my carb needs to rebuilt or if it's just because it's colder out.

I have an '83 4x4 four speed and have gotten as good as 22 mpg all highway after the duraspark conversion. That was with an RV cam and compression raised by zero decking the block.

My 84 auto only gets 10mpg, now I have a 6 inch lift and 32s and I mpg has not changed.
