My 1992 Z71 350 TBI gets about 10-12 and it's premium only! But I have 3" straight exhaust with a glasspack so I have like no back pressure!! and I have a heavy foot!

I have no idea...it just has absolutely no pep.....you put it to the floor, and it stumbles for like 5 seconds before it does anything, and it accelerates very slowly. Low and 1st gear are fast...2nd is ok...3rd and OD are pathetic....

Well with a 2500 you have a really heavy frame and low axle ratio and v6 has low torque so that would probably be the problem there!

jimmy get great gas milage... its go the 4.3 but is the truck version.. not the suv one.. lol there is a difference.. stock it should get 15/18 mpg but right now im getting 18/22.... its pathetic that i use less gas then my wife does and she has a shorter distance to work but alot of stop and go... i et right onthe highway and never get off of it untill 1/4 mile bfore my work...

i am still trying to figure it out...since i am still getting used to my 94 gmc sierra i can barely let off the gas or barely touch it and not notice that i have done that...i wouldn't know i was doing it if it wasn't for the tach needle jumping around..lol..when i first got that truck i thought maybe the gauges were bad but started to pay attention to my driving and found it was me and not the truck...go figure...hopefully in another month or 2 i can better estimate my gas mileage as i get to drive it on a regular basis now.....but it is so quiet that i have to watch my gauges closely to know how fast i am going..might have to remedy that someday because the black truck is loud and i could tell by the sound of it how fast i was going

besides, it has a 350 in it and if i was worried about gas mileage i wouldnt have bought it...however i did look at one that had a 454 in it i think and decided that was a bit much but i can deal with the 350...i like power in my vehicles and refused to go any smaller on the engine size..since i dont drive all over on a constant basis my truck doesnt do bad..mainly to town or work is about it for me, occasionally out of the county but the gas mileage isnt all that bad i dont think
