my pops 99 dakota with 318 gets 20-22mph cruising and around 14 around town. 14-15 combined.
my dads 318 makes about 100hp and tq less than the vortec in the buddies truck, and gets worse mileage.
this is common knowledge

did you want me to disagree they get shitty mileage? i know they do, and so do chevy gas v8's and ford gas v8's. youre the idiot claiming a ------- 5K pound truck gets better gas mileage then my 1.6L honda civic :1
GM SUV's do not get 24 or even 17 MPG. my friend owned one for 2 years (5.3L) and it got 10-12 AT BEST. this was a girl driving it, and she drove like an old person.
i dont bash on domestics any chance i get, just when you make retarded claims like an LS1 car getting 30 MPG. sorry to tell you but power + long gears + low RPM's does not actually equal good gas mileage. a big motor requires X amount of fuel to run. period.

i've gotten 31mpg in my camaro, lots of people have, lots of people have in corvettes too.
would it make you feel better if i got a video tape of the mileage computer on the truck?
if your friend drives only in the city it could get 12mpg average...
you = :1

mileage computers are a ------- estimate. i dont care what they say. 12MPG driving highway, less with only city. let me know next time you go on a long trip and compare mileage driven versus fuel used to determine gas mileage as opposed to some estimated on board gas mileage readout. would you also base how much torque a hyundai tiburon is making by a gauge? i mean it has an on board torque output gauge, i bet its accurate as hell right? :1
