    when i had the 4.3 in Penny (my 99 sierra 5 speed) i got a best of 22 hwy (avg 19 hwy) & averaged 16 in town. that was with 31.5" tires, AIRAID filter, tune, & 87 octane

    Eh if it has the 2.2 that will be good to putt around in, doesnt really have that much power but it still goes. The 2.2 gets way better then the 4.3

    personal preference puts the 4.3 over the 2.2 i doubt the 2.2 get much better gas mileage than the 4.3, atleast if driven the same. you have to rape a 2.2 for it to move out of its own weight. how much you willing to spend?

    I've know people who have had a RCSS 2.2L 5 speed and they are dogs. The gas mileage isn't great because you have to floor it everywhere you go just to move with the speed of traffic.
