Just realized that GMC has the big block V6 305 in it. First guess is they drove it a few tanks and found out what kind of mileage they were getting with it- and parked it!

�� jk. I know there are fans but the couple I’ve had experience with got about 4mpg.
Yep... this outfit I worked for in the mid 70's had about a 66 GMC big 8 or 10 yard dump truck that if I remember correctly had about a 400 ci V6 gas motor in it, they pulled a backhoe with it and probably got about 2-3 mpg. Slow as molasses that thing was.
