Man oh Man! After reading the other posts I guess I feel lucky when I was driving my 3/4 ton 49 Chevy. I got between 25 and 30 MPG on the hwy with the big 17" wheels and the ol 216 4 speed. And that truck would haul a load. I made lots of trips from Indy to Chicago, Dayton OH, ! It would go 65 on the interstate with the big wheels and the 4:57 rear but it would take its time getting there also. It floors me that with all the years of engineering the mileage has gone down so much even on a regular newer truck. I just got a 71 Chevy Custom Camper 3/4 ton and checked the mileage yesterday and it got 9, but there is carb work to do still. Seems to me those 67-72 trucks with 350s got 15-16 when new.
