Horrible gas mileage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

You can't go by the guage as said above, you have to compare mileage to how much fuel it takes to fill it up. for example, I have a 20 gallon tank and when I get to E on the guage I still have 6 gallons left. Also when full it goes past the F on the guage but it only takes 4 gallons to get to the 3/4 full mark.

The point of having a dual spring is that when the spring you have fails eventually, the truck will be floored possibly causing an accident until you get a new spring. with dual springs when one breaks, the throttle will still go back closed and you can get it home.
