Or, for even better MPG, power and torque, install a 6BT and NV4500 in front of a 2.75 axle ratio......

I don't mind worth a hoot, ask my parents...….

Seriously though, I have seen as high as 30 MPG with this setup. It can go lower, depending on how heavy my foot gets.
I can not keep good records on average MPG, due to never bothering to get the speedo operating. I will do so, at some point.
