72 LWB, 350 crate, headers, HEI, Edelbrock 1406, 96'Chev1/2ton 5 speed gearbox, 235x75R15s, 308posi rear =====21-22mpg on the flats. If towing my bass boat====15mpg. Going up and down mountains in WV====18mpg.
GORDO with a short bed and 700r4 with 373 rear gets 20+. Overdrive transmissions help a lot as does a soft touch on the pedal due to a light wallet!!
Can still get rubber out of 2nd gear when necessary. Now for the killer===============My 1997 C5 CORVETTE WITH A 6 SPEED GETS 31-32 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAN DELIVER 0-60 IN UNDER 5 SECONDS ANYTIME!!! By the way, the Corvette is for sale at $24,900. ----Huck
