I get about 30-35mpg on either motor depdning on my driving style. I fiind that my diesel mileage is improved when leaving the tailgate int the down position (as expected).

Speaking of tailgates, the one in the 1990 16" Doka has cable stays with coresponding mountings on the side gates. I was looking for these cables as one of mine is missing. I have yet to find another doka around here that has these cables. For now I had some made up from US truck parts.
