What kind of fuel mileage can you get I am getting 28 out of a 81
with 400lb comp 1.6 Rabbit pickup. WHat can I do to get in to
the 40+mile club. I have a 4sp and camper shell. Any help :(

well a 5sp would help but you will need to change parts of linkage to get 5th gear.

easiest way to get 40+ mpg is to fit a diesel

If you're car's already a diesel, does it smoke a lot? If so your fuel delivery may be up too high. Also, adding a cetane enhancer will eek out another MPG or two.
