Whens the last time you tuned it up? New oxygen sensor's? Fuel filter? Drag a hole in the gas tank? Is the air filter cleaned? Try running a k&n filter. Check into that then if you don't see a change check more major problems. Like fuel pressure regulator. sensor's etc. If the check engine light is on have that check'd. Good luck man.

4 is really low, but mine gets 6-10 with the 454 tbi depending on if it has the trailer on it (i don't drive it w/o the trailer very often). just do a tune up, but the 454 is the major problem.

4 - 7 is bad.
tune up. check the timing.
check for fuel leaks, especially the lines coming out of the tank.
sell it to me cheap... oh i dunno.

my 89 with tbi only got 6-7 mpg, my 96 with fi gets 14 mpg. Im with the otherguys though, air filter, and tune up should help...oh yeah...keep your foot out of it
