Do you ever wonder why in just about every topic, YOU are the one argueing with multiple people and YOU are the one who THINKS he is right, even though YOU are the only one who thinks so? Did you ever wonder why that is?

lots of people put v6 and v8s in them. im talking specifically about the old 22r trucks. they don't get great gas mileage either
the 4x4 4.3l vortec s10s are better in everyway than every i4/v6 yota
as for lasting longer, s10s are just as much peices of ---- as a 22r yota.

i got 24-25mpg highway with 31" tires, worn out bushings all around. i put that truck 2ft in the air, bent three rims, drove home in 2" thick plastering of mud, drove over a tree, wrecked into a guardrail at 45mph, hit a deer, towed numerous other cars, put that thing in a 3ft wide rain gulley sideways, drove out. let's see your s10 take ---- like that and keep going.

MY 4x4 '85 solid axle 22r yoda, non-efi was rated at 21/25mpg, and averaged out to 22 mixed driving, 24-25 highway, with 31" tires. when i had a bad hg i was getting 19/21-22.
