160K on it, my buddy has it, he used for for his long commute to work to keep miles off the other vehicles, i would be using it for same thing, Pretty much just wonder ing what kind of MPG they get, i cant find any reliable info on the web. its standard cab 2wd, Thanks

I had that exact truck, only a 96.

ha, Thanks, not sure if its standard or not , i have a text out now, i just bought a 09 silverado with the 5.3 motor and its killing me in gas

I had a '96 with a 5 speed manual trans and no AC in it.
It would barely pull a 16' trailer (unloaded) so I didn't try to very often.

I averaged right at 24 mpg's combined in it over about 40K that I owned it.

It was a loud noisy peice of crap but YMMV.

ETA: I just read the other comment and I can verify beyond a shadow of a doubt that right near 1/4 of a tank of gas means you are walking!
It will not, I repeat, will not go below the 1/4 mark before you are out of gas.

I assume he's giving it to you?

My s-10 was one headache after another I would never actually spend money on one again.

I had a 2002 S-10. 2wd 4cyc and avg around 23-25mpg on the highway.It was also a 5spd manual.

Had an 01 4cyl auto ext cab 2wd. Consistent 25mpg if doing the speed limit. Slow slow slow, had to turn the A/C off to go up hills.

As an aside, probably the worst made vehicle I've ever owned. All kinds of little crap would break all the time. I got sick of it and made a deal to trade it in. Turning into the dealership and the alternator/battery died and I coasted into a parking spot. Traded keys with the salesman (same guy who sold me the POS) and never looked back.

WINNING!
