Could do better than 11-13mpg in winter though 
Otherwise, shouldn't really under estimate them. The one in the back is 850lb dry weight alone.
But this is the MAIN thing I hate about them lol
The 5.3L V8 does drop in pretty easily.

Its an 88 s10 that runs great. The 2.5 iron dukes are very reliable. They have timing gears. And are non interference. Its custom paint lol. Telltale from the blue door jambs. She is deemed,"the beater" but on a better note. Absolutely NO rust whatsoever. No rust repair either. She's clean. It's got new tires too. And had halfa tank of gas. Needed two windows, all lock cylinders a muffler the seat was torn up, dash is cracked, and needed a corner lens. Oh and it won't always go into fifth which Is no big deal to me. I got one window my corner lens door handle and have a whopping $15 in it.
