94 miles for 20 dollars
it's hard to help you how much is the gas where you live
fill the tank up and do your milage and tell us what it is

:dunno: what this line means but you might want to run a couple of tanks with some Techron after you replace your fuel filter.
Also, like mospeed said , let us know what your actual mileage is and it will be easier for us to help.

Are you asking how BIG of a gas tank it has?
If so, it's a 21.9, or 22.9 gallon tank - can't remember exactly.
No, $20 bucks will not fill this truck, not if you're empty. Try more like $28-$35.
My 1st Rodeo, a 91 3.1L V6 never really did GOOD on gas mileage, but she ran good. I think 15 mpg or there about's in town.

Never said that's what a website said. You'll have to figure out how much mpg you get, mine got that much, but it also had bigger tires.
What are you expecting from a 14yr old vehicle?
That 3.1L 120HP was prime 14yrs ago; and that darn thing's still running. Can't say that about 95% of other manufactured cars, with the exception of Toyota, Honda, and I'm sure there are some golden oldie Nissan's as well.
You're not gonna get the gas mileage of today's vehicles; and you're driving around a 5K pound truck, which is heavy buy today's mid-size SUV standards.
You bought that thing for $300, I'll give you $600 if you bring it to Denver. It's worth the gas money for me, cause I know that Isuzu will hold up. It's worth not having the headache of transmission problems, ball joint breakage, etc from other vehicles WITH probably better gas mileage, but horrible reliability.
thanks alot
