I get about 15 mpg on the highway if i keep it around 55. If i go faster it goes down. Towing trailer was at 8 mpg at around 55-60mph. But with a higher rear-end ratio, that is expected. Also took out the 4 speed overdrive tranny and put a transmission that was out of a Motorhome. Its a three speed. So that cuts the mpg too. So, i switched fuel economy for power to tow. I found the tag for this truck and mpg was 18 mpg highway, and 13 in the city. So i didn't hurt it to much. It has the 5.0 engine or 305 cubic inches. Its a tbi engine. Smallest V-8 made by Chevrolet since the 50's. They made the 265 and 283 cu.in. V-8. I call it the engine that can!!
