Our youngest son got an early inheritance a little over a year ago, my OJ Simpson 1996 White Bronco with Ford’s biggest V8.
Before he “inherited” it, I had one of the best engine tuners put the new expensive plugs, spark wire cables and some other gear in it.
After the above work, CA DMV required a smog test because of its age. The free standing smog testing station said it was one of the cleanest vehicles they had tested for smog.
Our son gets 15-17 mpg with mixed driving. He is on vacation now and got over 23 mpg with the Bronco loaded for two weeks of fun gear on the first tank and still is on the second tank. The Bronco runs on regular gas with no pings nor additives.
He says he may be channging his mind about some little rice burner that will not haul he, his bikes and other gear around.
