I've never had it at high speeds long enough to see the mileage when the 4-barels open up, but I think it would be measured in gallons per mile then. I used 3/4 of one tank (roughly 15 gallons) going about 10 miles at full throttle. I know that doesn't seem possible, but unless there was a one time guage malfunction, it happened. It's just a good thing I got dual tanks on it.
J-Ri, How would you posibly know your mileage at 110MPH?
I'm sure that no one on this forum would ever drive exsesive speeds!

I had a Ford 1/2 ton that got a simular mileage when I booted on it.
I sure didn't complain much when it got stolen

I had to make a long drive, and din't have much time to get there... plus I had my CB on 19 listening for bear traps, and traffic in the SLOW lane was going probably 90 except for the occasional RV... those were some sudden bottlenecks

I do have an update for both trucks. My Silverado is now getting close to 15 (acetone added to gas), and my S-10 is getting ~25 city and as high as 30.09 highway (65mph going up and down rolling hills). I'll add acetone to that and see if I can get it to 35.

My girlfriends 92 gets about 25mpg with the same FI motor, and 5 speed
I got 30+ mpg with my old 63 Ford 1/2 ton with the optinal 262 I-6 motor, with the 3 speed manual transmission. (in the U.S. this motor was comercial only)
I rarely see city driving, so I don't know what those trucks get in town

Re: What's your truck's MPG?

I used to get cheap fuel and was more of a "project" (not into those kind of projects anymore)
