Default Daily drive rock crawler?

I bought a 79 bronco with differentials in both axles, 4:11's and the np435 and a 72 351, and I want to restore it best I can, which isn't much, but what would you say top speed is, fourth gear at 2.5k? And gas mileage? I plan on driving it to school which is only fiveish miles away, I have a 35 gallon gas tank, so i would think I would only have to fill it once, maybe twice a month, right?

I recently subscribed to your channel Brad. My wife is not very happy with you. After watching the Long Beach Bash video yesterday with the Trail Reaper, I ordered Poyson Spyder crusher corners with retro circular lights and a fold down tailgate to replace the swinging tailgate. Please ignore any ugly messages she sends you.

I had one back when and it was 13 mpg. I put humpback heads, a high lift Cam, dual exhaust, Offenhauser high rise manifold on it and couldn't get it out of Second in town. Was a blast on the low side. ran like a stripped ***. Then I put speakers and Carpet in back, added murials on the side windows and put in a huge roof window. Bad ! Then I found CAptains swivel front seats, took out the rear seat and real bad.
