My 6 cyl truck gets the worst mileage of any vehicle I have, including my hot rod Corvette.

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
my truck's run's and drives fine with the six and the 3.08 rear gear's but I don't tow anything with it , I would think it would tow a boat but pulling out on a steep hill would be a challenge ,
when I got my truck it had a 4.10 rear gear and was in need of a tune up it would not beat 10 mpg , less than that over 50 mph , I put in the 3.08's , did a fresh set of plug's , wire's , point's , and a new coil rebuilt the carburetor , now it run's great , and get's 20 mpg !!!

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
I love my six, 700r4 trans. and who knows its not fast, around here those new V8s take at least a couple miles to get up to high way speeds.

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
I've always heard the 250's were good on gas mileage,... but the 292's were gas hogs.

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
I have a 70 stepper six silly three on the tree gets 18/20 all day long! sounds like crap at idle (popping&farting) but runs great! A buddy of mine called me to ask me if I wanted to come get 250 six silly just for taking it out the car! The car was a71 Chevelle with 50,000 miles on the clock (the thing is brand new) motor has never been apart! cheers, Pat

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
WOW only 20 mpg out of a 6 banger?.. my nova with a mild 350 4bbl gets that easy, if not better, and i can shred the tires off the rims........... how do you guys get your milage numbers?.... i got mine by this method....(distance traveled divided by gallons used) my work is exactly 50.3 miles round trip, (the gas station is litterally 2 blocks away from my house). i filled up and went to work on the way home i filled up again at the same station, same pump. i was only able to cram 2 gallons into the tank before full again. so i figured with basic math skills that 50.3miles divided by 2gallons equals 25mpg(roughly)..

Re: HMMMMM the six cylinder's may have some use !
helldiablo
First, 20mpg is impressive no matter what. i would like to know the specs on your car cause 25mpg seems a bit far fetched coming from someone who is not impressed by a 20mpg truck. Try doing the same thing you did to get your mpg but do it from full tank to empty tank. Then do it a few more times and average that out. If all you do is exclusive highway milage, thats going to boost your numbers alot! My bet is your total combined MPG would be alot more like 15mpg. |

"I would think it would tow a boat but pulling out on a steep hill would be a challenge".
Like say, a boat ramp? (don't ask me how I know this one)
