Mine 88 K5 350 tbi 700r4 31x10.50s 3.73 gears 16.5-17mpg Hwy easy on the skinny pedal . It pretty much sux powerwise .
 
I used to get close to that in my Burb before I lifted it, installed 35" tires and regeard to 4.10. Now it might get 12-14 on the highway.. Oddly, it almost seems to get a bit better in the city traffic, might be because I drive like a grandpa.

Not gonna get sports car feeling out of these, they're trucks. Want more power, deliver more fuel in a larger displaced engine. :D

My other truck has spoiled me and has messed up my thinking it is a tuned and modded 07 Dmax CCSWB 4x4 that gets 22mpg and will roast my 10ply nitto's at will It just doesn't have the cool points my k5 has and sux offroad it wil slide down a slick hill like a bobsled:haha: I guess a 383 will help it in the go dept too bad I can't keep the mileage or maybe a cummins swap??
 
my m1009 with 3.08 gear, 37" tires and the 6.2l diesel gets about 19mpg highway. But it's slow as **** lol
