I have not ran any of the new fuel injected big blocks but there is no evidence that they are any better than the old ones. Right now I have a 1996 Dodge with a 360 gas 4x4 3/4 ton ext. cab and my mileage is right where yours is 12-13 my lowest was 7.5 pulling a 25ft.tandem dual gooseneck with a 6000 to 7000 lb tractor on it. I dream of one with a 5.9 cummins at times but I don't pull trailer much and reality sets in when I cost it out and add extra for more engine oil capacity and more expensive filters and fuel filters. I think you would only come out ahead if you mainly used for pulling. I'm not that old but I remember driving my uncle's 1951 chevy truck this had a large 20 ft. dump grain bed and only had a SMALL 6 CYL. GAS 250ci ? got the job done ran fine I checked the gas mileage once but I forget what it was.I think the same as a pickup this was around 1979 or 1980 ? MPG has not come very far at all in pick up trucks.
