Last time I checked the '88 rcsb 5.7 700r4 I got 23.5mpg on a road trip. It beats me that some trucks with similar drive train that are 20 years newer don't get that mileage.

Mine gets around that which blows me away. I can make a 200+ mile road trip and still have between a quarter and half a tank
