Greetings Gas Guzzlers,
I drive a 1997 GMC Sierra 4x4 full size extended cab truck which is
basically the same as a Chevy. It has a 5.7 Liter Vortex V-8,
Auto-trans. and gets 22 mpg on the highway (with the A/C off...about 20
mpg with it on). Around town or off-roading for meteorites I'm sure it
drops down to 15-16mpg. Not too shabby for a full-size 4x4.

So, a small S10 Blazer with a 4 cyl. or 6 banger (or the likes), might
get a little better mileage than that.

Best for a good trip Pele,
Dave
