I've got an 84 D-100 with the 225 Lean burn and I'm getting about 13 mpg! Should it be more? Also if I swap to HEI ignition would that help with power?

I got about the same with my 87. I converted it to super six and EI and get 22.

Mine gets 14 around town, 16 on the highway. I am following Cuda's lead and doing the super six switch asap.

with my 100% stock 83 D-150 I have found the biggest impact on mpg is how I use the throttle. Keep it under 65 on the highway,, don't use the throttle like on on-off switch in stop and go driving and I'll get 18 mpg easy.
will be interesting to see what happens after the motor improvements are made
