Re: 1972 C.K. 10 4x4 Power -vs- Gas Mileage

Gets about 12 or 13 MPG just running around. Now compared to my work truck, the 04 K3500, which only gets 9 MPG (if I'm lucky), that's great!

That's really good mileage!! I wonder if your late model engine has anything to do with it and especially since you are using the stock Q-Jet Carb.?

Thanks for your input.
