Wow, my bro's R/t 360 gets an average 12-14 MPG, but has pulled 21.3 MPG on
a trip. My little 355 S-10 gets better mileage than all of the above though
hehe. Gotta love under 3200 pound weight and 3.08 gears (thouh only a 3
speed TH400 :( )
:)

He probably has a reg cab 4x2 with the 4.7. Mine is 4x4 with a 5.3 liter
and it gets around 18-20 mpg, and has 285hp. The dakota V6 4x4 only gets
15 the most.
