I had one of those about 20 years ago, with the 350 Olds gas engine. Good driver, got good mileage on the road. We left on vacation one year, got past Sacramento before I bought 22 gallons of gas to fill it, got to Grants Pass,Oregon the next day and still had at least a quarter tank. That drive isn't exactly flat. We used that car up, then I gave it to Tony Janes. He still has the 350 and the TH400. Didn't know they came with a 403.

Yeah,mine on the highway will get around 18-19mpg. Only runs 19`s up here on the mountain though,but awfully consistant! If it wasn`t for all the rust,I`d do something more with it. Would run around L/SA with the 403 and P/SA with a 350.

Wife drives a 06 freestar 4.2L 25mpg or so and about 160,000 on it so far. I've changed the brakelight switch....original brakes even!

I drive the junk, 93 F-350 4 door with 8ft box. 7.3diesel with 656,000km's and counting on the original engine. Second tranny and it's not shifting right! LOL!
Oh, 25mpg at 120km's and about 28-30mpg when on back roads at 80kmph!
Empty or loaded doesn't really change the milage, only rpm.
Looks like absolute crap...but I love it.

My daily driver 2002 Nissan Frontier, 4cyl-5speed with over 250,000 on the clock. Done nothing but routine oil and filter changes and brake pads, still has original plugs & wires. 22-24 MPG.

Wife's driver is a 1999 GMC Suburban. 350 with 190,000 miles. I just bought this last Nov. for $3200. Nicely maintained with all new A/C components recently installed. It gets 16-18 MPG and can haul us and our 4 kids that are still home + 2 grandkids.

A project I'll get around to one day hopefully is a 1983 Malibu wagon 305 with unknown miles. I bought this car from Danny Waters, Sr. probably 4 years ago and one day I hope to do some type of partial restoration on it and have a street driver and occational bracket race car for when the mood strikes me. It is drivable and my oldest step daughter used it recently for about a month while her vehichle was being repaired.

My race car is towed with a 1988 UltraStar motorhome 454/Turbo 400. At 65,000 it has the fewest miles of everything I own. Gets 7 MPG towing the car on a open trailer.
