I linked my source, which you seem to have ignored. Here it is:


Apparently, by "GM," you meant Chevrolet, not GMC. I understand that it is mostly a matter of badging, but their EPA ratings differ. Here is just the Chevrolet pickup's ratings:

Fueleconomy.gov puts an '84 at 22mpg

I am not trying to argue or insult. Had the EPA said 31 MPG, I would have posted that to support you. In these forums, members expect people to support claims. Instead of asking for your source, I looked it up. If you can support the 1983 6.2L diesel being rated 31 MPG, I will happily delete all of my responses. If you start your own thread about the 1983 31 MPG 6.2L diesel, I will move my messages there, and we can clean up this thread.
