Aint that the truth i have a 90 blazer 4 inch lift 36 inch1050s 410 gears TBI 10 on a good day hway. I hear these stories of 25 mpg in a full size pickup.2015 Chevy only claims 24 with a v6 in a std cab pickup and thats perfict condistions. Any time you lift some thing add taller tires your pushing a house down the freeway. I Ride a bike alot and have for 40yrs on the street aint nothing on the rode that mucks up the air like full size pickup.
