Yeah, MPG is anywhere from 10-12 (at the best maybe near 13 with the 5.8, though stock that's probably with a sub 200lb driver and no one/thing else extra).
Also 1978-79 Broncos actually weighed more between 4500-5000 like a max of just over 4700lbs with the 6.6L V8. Most/all modern 4WD full-size pickups are heavier then that.
78 and 79 Broncos are very heavy, somewhere in the ballpark of 5000 - 6000 pounds. They also only came with a 351 or 400 V8. 10 - 12mpg on the highway is considered doing very well.
around 16 mpg

I have a 1988 ford bronco 2 with a 2.9 six cylinder with 103,000 miles and still get 22 mpg on the highway.
The 1972 ford bronco got an estimated 13.3 mpg highway, and 11.1 mpg in the city. The average would allow you to travel 137 miles on a tank of fuel.

A 78 Bronco that came with all the luxuries and options was roughly $7500 - $8000.
All 1978 and later Ford Broncos have interchangeable tailgates. I found this out grom the junk yard when I was looking for a replacement tailgate for my 1978 Bronco.
