    Been kind of curious to find out my gas mileage so the other day I was trying to figure how far I have driven on one tank of gas (odometer is still missing). So after only driving to work for two days I figured I had driven 200 miles, went and filled up to find that I had used 12 gallons. I didn't think 16 was too bad since my new 2000 truck only gets 18 on the highway
    I would be interested to find out what anybody else gets with a 63ish chevy truck with a stock 283?

    Thanks Kris

    I get 14 miles to the gallon on my 64 c20. Although engine needs rebuild. this could account for the difference. anyway just thought I would let you know.
