Have you ever driven a 3.0L Ranger? Gas mileage goes to hell in a handbag once the tach passes 2500 and gets worse past 3000 when it gets noticeably richer. This one has a kick to it like the old 4 barrel carbs when it passes 3 grand while pulling. The only wy to get any kind of mileage from it is to keep your right foot very light. If I drove the way I prefer to drive most of the time then I'd get an honest 15 mpg from this truck and there's nothing wrong with it either. It's tight and in good tune.
I'm well aware that the Ranger and B-series are supposed to be exactly the same truck. I was only relating a story that was told to me by someone I consider to be a fairly reliable source. It makes me wonder why I always hear stories of people getting better mileage with the Mazda's. This is not the first time I've heard that said. One would think it reasonable to deduce that either there's something different between the trucks or Mazda owners are either lieing or bad at arithmetic.... Everyone I know that has a Ranger is getting mileage similar to what I'm getting, and I know several people that drive Rangers. They're poor as poor can be for fuel mileage when it comes to little trucks.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
