Default Fuel economy for short boxes

What fuel economies are you getting with the V8 4wd short box trucks? I'm just curious about any of the 90's, and up vintages.

well theres alot that depends on how good the truck is as in does it burn oil do you drive alot of highway or city miles
my 88 chevy reg cab longbox got 10 miles to the gallon highway and it there wasnt a drop of oil leaking from it also it had the 700r4 trans and shift kit put in also did not burn oil
my brothers 94gmc ext cab 4wd z71 tow package with the trans geared low chevy gets around 8-10 mpg his engin burns oil needs new oil rings on the number 1 and 8 piston
i just baught a 94 silverado 4x4 ext cab with jsut the 4wd package and it im goin to guess will be getting aroun 12 mpg not towing 8-10 towing highway but i will have to guess it jsut verys on how and if your towing anything
