I got looking through some of my data-bases. Here are some of my fuel milage records. Keep in mind that fuel mileage reports must be done over-time to be useful. One-time "highs" usually mean nothing. That because sometimes, at certain service stations, you cannot fill a diesel pickup truck properly and get false readings. Many places have "big truck" pumps only and make too much foam when trying to put fuel into a small hole.

1983 Blazer with 2800 lb. camper-trailer. 6.2 C-code engine, TH400 auto-trans and 3.08
axles. 7/10/97 Returned from trip to Québec (St.Maurice National Park), round trip total
miles of 1,001 miles. Got 13.2 MPG average for the entire trip - all highway and mostly
flat.

87 Suburban. J-code 6.2 diesel, 4WD, 3.73 axles and TH400 auto trans.
