23 city,27 road with a Weber 34.Be sure your tires are aired up to at least 32 psi,be sure truck is tuned properly,and avoid jackrabbit starts .if u r running the stock Nikki carb ur mileage will suck no matter what.if u set the timing up to 5 degrees BTDC and run a half tank of reg plus a half tank of 89 octane to keep valve rattle down ur mileage will improve 2 to 3 mpg.bj

cool,but I doubt we are talking apples to apples.Mine is an AT truck with a cam,with stiifer valve springs,etc.etc.If it were stock I would get about the same as you I suspect.BJ
