I can't imagine most owners check valves every 10-15k miles? Does the 2.6 have more issues than most motors with keeping valves in spec?

Any ideas on real world mpg for 2.6/5spd/4wd Rodeo? I'm hoping for 20 mpg average.


I think this is very doable. I got 20 in both my 87 2.6/5-speed Trooper, and my 92 3.1/5-speed Rodeo. Keep in mind both were completely stock suspension and tire size.

Good luck
