Exactly. my dads 95' 3/4 ton RCLB gets 21mpg, and it weighs 7800lbs.

also VMAX, with your theory, if i put like a 572 in my truck, would my gas mileage increase since i've got so much more power to carry my truck along?

I didnt mean literally drain your tank....i meant use all your gas before you go to the track and fill up like 1/4 tank to have enough to make it back home.

I've got to hear what you're putting down! I'm trying to plan my modding path for my V-Max so what works for you on our 87-91 oct may work for me.

Question

VMax, what headers and exhaust are you running. I've been looking and you could use your input as I have a similiar VMAX (GMC) with a Blackbear 93 tune and K&N intake. Thanks

read an article in gm high tech performance that they put an LS2 in an S10 with a t56 and it acheived better fuel economy and ran awesome. I am not saying put a gas guzzling 572 4 barrel monster in your rig, but a fuel efffiecient V8 opened up with intake and headers. you know all the bolt ons to let air and fuel in as fast and easy as possible.
