Take a tap and clean the threads on the block.

Best tank was 18mpg, summer blend, driving on the back roads of N. Carolina hauling a bed load of firewood up to my kids summer camp...go figure.

I used to calculate my mileage, now i just watch my gauge and fill it when nearing empty. Figure I have done things to increase my mileage but at the same time it usually means I do something else to decrease the mileage. You want to get great mileage. Get AAA or BCAA RV package and it's good for two 320 km tows and four 100 km tows. Years ago when I went out drinking, I'd disable the car to get a free tow home. Never got an impaired in my life charge.....

Had a '82 half ton with 700 trans it got honest 23 mpg freeway
'83 Suburban same as above about 18-20 mpg
'84 Blazer w/ t400 & a lot of iron! 16-17 on long trips, mostly 12-13 mpg

Larry- the best 19.6 most of the time 17.8-18.2 with about 50% city
Old previous employer Company rig not in sig. 2wd 8600 gvw 4.10s reg cab with 235 85s got about 17.5-17.8 60% highway. Diamond eye 4" and 3" dp, otherwise stock.

I run Powers years round and the mileage seems to stay pretty consistent. I even ran powers in the truck not in the sig. The numbers above were not pulling anything and running basically empty.
