looks like im keepin the 87
 

I MEAN 86...... SORRY ....Well i guess i dont have to feel all that bad. Guys with the 88-98 trucks get just about the same mileage as us. I saw a 92 i was interested in but figured whats the point. I like the squares more than the next generation of trucks so whats the point. THEY GET THE SAME MPG THEN NEAR MOST OF US.:smoke:

Re: looks like im keepin the 87
 

actually if you have a 87 they do get same

Re: looks like im keepin the 86
 

i actually have an 86. It gets pretty much the same gas mileage as the 88-98s based on what the guys said

Re: looks like im keepin the 87
 

yea the 700r4 saves you

Re: looks like im keepin the 87
 

yeah theres less there is only like a 3 % gain on tbi over a carb

Re: looks like im keepin the 87
 

yeah i might switch to the edelbrock q jet i have to see if i can squeeze some more mpg out on the freeway. Other than that i get pretty much the same if not better than the later models mentioned above.

3%? My uncle had an '84 K20 with a 305 4bbl and an SM465, got 10/13 city highway mpg, and I have an 87 tbi 350/sm465 and i get 12/15 city highway, alot of it is driver but it seems to better than carbs.... than again it could depend on how the carb is tuned....
