Last time I posted BS started walking because some people don't think it's possible.

old stock 305 - 18 MPG at 70 MPG. Drove straight though the tanks too. Long 1000 mile trips.
305 - 13 MPG in the city. Lots of work on engine and truck.

ZZ4 - 13 MPG in the city so far. I can't seem to keep my foot out of it. 2500 stall and higher than normal shift points until the tranny is well broken in. I can't wait for a long trip out of town. I'm really curious on what it can pull off. Planning a trip in May. I'll drive through full tanks and calculate.
