I hate to ask, but what do you guys think I'd be getting for fuel economy in the truck I might be getting? It's a 1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer w/ a 350 V8. I'm unsure of how much lift it has, probably around 5-6". It's got 36.5x14R15 tires with 4.56 gears. It's been converted from TBI to carb w/ an edelbrock carb and intake. Any ideas as to fuel economy?
