Manual?
In the mid-late 90s the S-10's with an automatic were straight dogs. But if you got a regular cab manual it would sip fuel and have enough to pass on the highway or whatever.
2 of my buddies on my basketball team had comparable year S-10s. One was a regular cab manual, the other was an extended cab automatic. The one with the manual was telling someone what mileage his pickup got. The other guy like ran across the gym to interrupt the conversation to say WTF it can't get that good. The look on his face was ****ing classic.
I hadn't thought about those guys in years.
