I have a 1997, GMC ext cab, K-1500, with 5.7 L engine. She's fairly loaded with most of the toys. Has only 45,000 miles on it and gives me ( at last check) 19 mpg. I can't complain on this truck that much. Has never let me down. Lewis.

That lasst mileage check was my first trip from Ogdensburg to Boonville and back on Sat the 21st. I just filled the truck after my second trip to Boonville on Sunday the 22nd. I drove 220.6 miles (round trip) and it took 9.78 gallons to top of the truck. Mileage ended up being 22.556 MPG. Not bad for a K-1500 ext cab with a 5.7 liter (350 cu in). My brother drove and doesn't have a lead foot. I've have gotten as high as 24.7 after I first got the truck. Haven't seen that in a while. Just thought I'd throw this in. Take care. Lewis.
