If there is some secret to getting 20+ mpg from a carb V8 gas powered, non-overdrive truck that possesses the aerodynamics of a brick, please share.
Ya,I'm curious about this claim as well,done a quick calculation with your specs.I am guessing tire radius around 15-16" So at 70 mph your turning around 25-2600 rpm.Even more if you have a smaller tire. An explaination would be great...
