Re: [VAL] Gas mileage

["Bobby Gill" <gillguy@xxxxxxx>]

John
I have a 1988 Chevy K1500 w/5.7 liter (350) engine also.
Regular cab, short bed 4 wheeldrive
Mine is a 4-speed though, not automatic, and it also has 3:42 rearend.
Gas milage towing our 29' Ambassdor is around 12-13 MPG.
I also tow an enclosed trailer everyday which weighs around 3000lbs, with it I
still get about 12-13 MPG and 10 MPG towing in town.
My tires are 31X10.50X15 Michelin LTX M/S.
I have also run Daytona Radial A/T 285/75R15, which are actually 1/2 inch
taller than the 31" tires on it now, and I got better milage with them. Oh
they are also skinnyer than the 31X10.50"s. It wasn't much better only like
1-2 MPG more.
Also I'm in south Georgia, and most driving is flat, on trips to North Georgia
mountains the MPG was about the same as on trips to Florida though.
