What is the deal with our trucks and bad mpg? Years ago on a '72 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 350/350 Auto I was getting really bad mpg so I got me a Edelbroke intake and what they use to call the "fuel saver carbertor" and I got around 17mpg. A great improvement. But now they say they can not get that four barrel any more. It has been about 17 or more years ago when I got the "fuel saver" Go figure.
