Thread: The beast

I have a 08 GMC Serria four door crew cab Z-71 4X4 with the 5.3 V-8 and 3.73 gears. My 99 Z-71 had the same engine and gear ratio and it did very good also. Driveing style does have a lot to do with it. I got better mileage pulling my old G-3 boat than I do pulling the Sea Ark....but the Sea Ark is wider and taller and catches a lot more air and its a little heavier also.

I'm gonna have to take some geezer driving lessons... Probly save a ton on gas, and transmissions, and tires... You see what I'm getting at. The chevys always did seem to get better MPG than fords... better road gears, and still enough power to tow with

I get 5-6 mpg....need to find me a middle eastern girlfriend with a daddy in the oil biz.

That truck shoulda come with a 1 year fuel card KD.
