[QUOTE="michigan, post: 176845, member: 22182"] 97 s10, 2wd, 4.3L v6, 5spd manual transmission. with this combo i rarely get less than 20mpg. empty, i usually get 24-27 mpg on the highway. pulling a bike trailer with two cr250's and a weekend's worth of camping and riding gear i get around 20mpg. with one bike and gear in the bed i'm at 21-24 mpg. it has enough payload capacity to haul two 250's and a weekend worth of gear in the bed, but there just isn't enough room to do this comfortably (and without looking like the beverly hillbillies). i have calculated the mileage of every tank of gas i've run through the truck, so these numbers are reliable. the key to my good mileage is the manual transmission and lack of 4wd. also, i believe that i'd do worse with the four cylinder because it would be working way too hard to be fuel efficient. however, the s10 is not known for reliability and quality, and i can vouch for this. a better setup would be a similarly equiped ranger... or anything other than an s10 for that matter. good luck truck hunting. ps- i had an 86 toyota 4x4 w/ 4 cylinger several years ago and i miss that truck dearly.
