  • '99 s-10

    Well I just got this S-10 with 52k miles. Highway mileage is excellent, but town mileage seems to be lacking. I've gone through half a tank in two days and driven 104 miles. The tank is 18 gallons. The truck has the Vortec V-6 w/ an Automatic transmission. Does this seem normal or should I expect better mileage? Anything I can do to increase my mileage?

    senders in those arent real reliable. I wouldnt jump to conclusions until you figure mileage at fillup. any problems like black smoke or any driveability concerns? They had some common problems but like I said, I wouldnt jump to conclusions yet...

      My 01 gets 17-21 mpg and the fuel gauge is completely worthless. V-6, auto, ext cab, ZQ8 with 43k miles. I'd say you are doing okay. It has a low fuel light but I just fill mine up when it gets 250 miles on a tank.

        Thanks for the issues. Mine is also an extended cab and whatnot. I've had no driveablity issues or complaints whatsoever with the vehicle.

          I drive a 97 with the exact same set up often and I've only been able to get about 16-18 putting around town.
