Hello everyone! I just aquired a 1990 Chevy 1/2 ton std cab, 8ft bed truck. It has a 4.3 engine with a 4 speed + OD manual transmission and no A/C. The drivetrain has 157,000 miles on it. I was hoping to use this for a commute vehicle on my 30 mile daily commute. The commute is 95% freeway and I drive 65 with no jack-rabbit starts.

Does anyone have any info on what I should expect for fuel enconomy? I spoke to an guy who had 1990 GMC with a 4.3, auto trans and A/C. He had 86k on the drivetrain. He was an older retired man that claimed to get 20/22 MPG as an combined average. He did have a soft cover over the bed which I think helped the MPG. What are you folks getting or what should I expect?

Thanks!
