I get about 12-15 mpg on my 89 K1500, 50 mile round trip to town and the rest puttering around on gravel roads and lots of low range chugging around in the woods. The 350 TBI pickup actually gets better mileage in those conditions than the six banger jeep, though it does a bit better on the highway, 20-22 mpg.
