Worst gas mileage truck you've owned?

[JTW]

I've thought about it. The ramps would have to be 12 - 15 feet long. Thinking about rigging up a hydraulic lift. It has a PTO driven hydraulic pump that operates the winch.

Just buy a damn lift... you deserve it!!

I have an '08 Escalade I bought because of the 6.2. Great power, but putting around town and idle time while waiting for kids I usually average about 11.5mpg. It will get up to 15 or 16 mpg on trips.

My motorhome (GMC VanDura van front with a 400 chev) gets a solid 7 with or without the Pioneer on the trailer behind it.

72 Suburban ambulance with a 402 BB. I couldn't keep my foot out of it, I got 4mpg.

It also holds the record for the shortest period I've owned a vehicle.

Oops, just noticed zombie thread.

I had a 77 Ford 250 tall boy, got 10 mpg empty, 10 mpg pulling a trailer, 10 up hill 10 down hill, seldom more seldom less. 351 Cleveland then replace with with a 400, go 11 no matter what but more power.

2004 8.1 gasser gets 7-8 mpg.

1982 Chevy 3/4t, 400sb, manual trans on 40" Swampers, it got 4mpg everywhere it went. Good thing gas was cheap then @ $0.89/gal, problem was I made less than $8/hr then too
