You could have shut it off and coasted and would have gotten 8 mpg with that configuration.

I have a Black 1995 K2500 4X4 regular cab pickup with a TBI 454 / 4L80E / 4:10 gears I bought new and it gets about the same MPG, but it sure pulls like a freight train. Every time I let someone use it, they always get asked if it’s for sale. OBS (Old Body Style) Anything it bringing BIG $$$ lately. All depends what you’re willing to Pay. Bill
