POLL: Fuel Milage

[Big Blzn]

My last road trip (day long) I filled up my stock 21 gal tank and by the time I got to 116 miles of driving I was nervous enought to have to fill up again. So about 6-8 mpg. OUCH!!!

The range on my C1500 is just a tick over 1000 miles (if it was all highway)...although that is using both tanks down to near empty.

Rene, thanks for making feel like dog meat. Yeah, lucky for me this is just a weekend driver. I usually only burn about $25 week in fuel though. No matter the mileage it is worth every dollar I spend in fuel for all the thumbs-up I get around town.

 

[Jishory]

my speedometer isnt hooked up, but even with the engine off rolling downhill i would estimate 1.3 mpg

 

[NewUser]

i havent even tried to figure mine yet(kinda scared to actually know) but with new 33's, 3.08 gears, and a brand new engine im gonna guesstimate around 10-13 mpg

drove it about 75 miles round trip on a hair over an 1/8th of a tank so im not really too sure but i do know filling a 31 gallon tank at $2.90 a gallon sux arse big time

I was getting 10-12 with my last 350. Hopefully in a couple months I will get to drive it with the new 383 and see what kind of mileage I get.

 

[loafer]

I run that combo and get about the same, I can squeeze 14-15 if I drive 60 or less on the highway but that's about it.

I get around 13mpg on my rig with 350 TBI, 700r4, 4.10s and 33" tires....I'll get less when I go 3/4 tons and 37"s...

I'm pulling around 17-18 with a sb 327 and 3.08's. A little under powered on hills though.

Are the 4.10s worth it? better mileage? I`m running the same combo except with 3.73s...

 

[onetonbb74]

7mpg's. 350/700/4.10/ 39.5's.

Try it with a 40

 

[Col_Sanders]

2.90??? Its 3.18 here.

 

[73k5blazer]

I get 20+, sometimes 18, sometimes 21, depending how I drive it.But I'm refering to my '86 C10 w 4.3l V6.

 

[79k54life]

79 k5 454 14ff d60 40" swampers 9" lift got about 7 mpg when I first put in the 454 but now after some serious tweaking I can sweak out 14 with wind at my back.

 

[twodollars]

15 on the highway, if I keep it around 70. 88 3/4 burb, 6.5 with banks turbo, 4.10 gears, th400 and np208, 37" mtrs.

 

[thatK30guy]

I get more than 20. My DD is an '89 New Yorker.

 

[big dan]

bad thats all Im gonna say.

today I got an offer, straight trade for a newer jeep tj with dana 44s, 6inch lift and 35s for my bone stock chevy. I looked at him and laughed. said sorry man but Id rather have a chevy.

Id like to by a motorcycle to dd when the weather is nice. I refuse to get rid of my fullsize and cant bring myself to buy a little truck or car but a bike would be pretty darn cool.

 

[rwright07]

i get 18ish on the hwy at 63mph... probly 14-15 in town...

its not bad really, my old 76 w/ a 400 sbc got like 1.3333mpg i swear!

oh and yea $3.18... try 3.45

but diesel is at 2.90 so ha

 

[Hossbaby50]

I get 20+ in my K5. Its easy. You fire it up drive it on the trail & shut it off. Drag it to and from the trails and you can get some sick mileage.

I have gotten 12 MPG in the K5 when it was actually street driven. My average with 35 & 37" tires, 350 TPI, 700R4, 4.56's was 10.

When it was stockish I could get 13 sometimes with 32's and 3.73's.
