I have a buddy at work with a Dodge Ram 50 (badgineered Mitsubishi Mighty Max) with the CC carb, he hates it. His truck is within a few centimeters of mine in every aspect and the weight is the same, but his mileage is dreadful. Low 20s on a good day, and the carb doesn't respond to tuning at all. I keep telling him to pull that carb and bolt in virtually anything else, but he's putting two kids through college so the workaday beater stays on the back burner.
