Thanks! Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 24, 2013, 3:14 PM Post #2 of 4 (1283 views) Re: 5.3 v8 Engine Help Sign In If you are looking for fuel economy this wouldn't be it. It like anything will vary by the use it gets and way it's driven. Poke around town expect diddle. Highway and steady maybe 18 or so at best still dependent on a ton of factors. If you need a truck and higher MPG your stuck, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 24, 2013, 3:22 PM Post #3 of 4 (1276 views) Re: 5.3 v8 Engine Help Sign In I agree. The general nature of the vehicle you are looking for will not give good mileage. If you want good fuel mileage, don't keep looking at full size pickups. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Sep 25, 2013, 2:58 AM Post #4 of 4 (1260 views) Re: 5.3 v8 Engine Help Sign In If it has the aerodynamics of a brick, weighs 2 1/2 tons and has 8 cylinders your gas mileage will suck. You either get something that can haul stuff and pay for extra gas or buy a little car that gets great mileage and can't move much more than the people in it. If they could make a truck get good mileage, nobody would own a Prius.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
