new owner

Proud new owner of 1988 Ford e150 with a rb12 ish conversion. It has the 302 motor and I am wondering about fuel economy. Anyone out
there have any numbers for a 302?
Van is at 80,000 miles, I’m repairing all the expected mechanical items, conversion is in great shape!

I get about 12 mpg combined in mine with the 302. It’s a 93.

Welcome to the forum. 12 mpg combined doesn't sound bad at all.

I will say that it’s pretty slow and happiest at about 65 mph. It goes down if I’m in traffic.
