Bronco MPG

So I'm sitting here planning my move home and looking through U-Haul and reading the requirements for pulling their trailers, on of the minimum requirements for the trailer I need is 2700lb Curb weight. Look up the Explorer and it's 4200lbs curb weight.

Then I think, hey lets look up the Bronco, look at the curb weight then the mileage for the rig highway. It's a 32 gal tank and gets around 17mpg highway which adds up to about 544 miles per tank; then I decide to look up the distance between Sacramento, CA and Middleton, ID; and it's... 544 miles...

I know, useless but I thought it ironic that the same Bronco I own gets the miles per tank that I am away from home...

That is ironic.

You want somehing reeeeeeally ironic?

I was at the junkyard yesterday and saw a truck with a bumper sticker that said 'Preserve Montana's Clean Air - Stop Toxic Burning'

The truck was there because it caught fire and basically burned to the ground...

Being that it's probably going to be a 5x8 I doubt that the 300-6 would even notice...

Although I forgot to mention that those are stock figures and my Bronco has an Offy intake, Holley Carb, and a Hooker header....
