The NASA! They have the NASA Crawler-Transporter (thing) that not in MPG!!! It got 125.7 gallons per mile!!! Read rest of the story.
NASA's Crawler-Transporters are the biggest, baddest, most kickass six million pounds of tracked vehicle in the known universe. There are two, Hans and Franz, but I shall refer to the Crawler in the singular as they are identical and it makes it easier mmkay? It's big, it's old, it's damn near Pharaonic. The "Crawler" is actually a platform full of generators and engines resting on 4 tracked "trucks". The height of the Crawler can be adjusted independently between 6 and 8 meters by each of the four trucks. The crawler is rectangular, 40 meters long and 34.5 meters wide, but the cargo contact points are positioned in a square 27 meters to a side
Since words can not be used to adequately describe its dimensions, let us break it down. The four trucks are 3 meters high and 12 meters long with two treads each. Each tread has 57 shoes per track. Each shoe weighs over one ton. This is all just to support the load, not to move it. The moving is done by 16 375 horsepower electric traction motors, two to a tread, four to a truck. These are powered by four 1,000 kilowatt generators in the main body, which are turned by two 2,750 horsepower diesel engines. This is all just to move the thing in one of two directions, forward and backward. Jacking, steering, lighting, ventilation, and the onboard systems are powered by two additional 750 kilowatt generators turned by two more 1,065 horsepower diesel engines. Two additional 150 kw generators are needed to raise and lower the platform. In case you didn't keep tally that's 7630 horsies of Diesel power being made into 5800 kilowatts of electricity.
This thing pokes along at 3 kph, 1.5kph loaded, and gets a full 0 mpg. That's right, 0 mpg. Because when you round 0.007 mpg, it becomes zero. Back on track, this means that the Crawler gets 42 feet per gallon, at 125.7 gallons per mile. It takes about 1,000 gallons to move the Shuttle and MLP between the Vehicle Assembly Building and the launch pad. This drinks from the combined 5,000 gallons of onboard fuel storage. All this makes things hot, so 500 gallons of water circulates through six radiators each with up to a 75 hp pump. The crawler is also said to be the loudest vehicle on earth, even after taking into account it's six 9 foot long 3000 pound mufflers.
The Crawler is controlled from one of two cabs on opposite corners of the Crawler. They don't try to back this thing up, they just reorient themselves and switch control cabins. The crew consists of one driver, four observers advising the driver, and six technicians minding the many systems. When the Crawlers where first used during the Apollo missions, the crew were all actually supplied by the Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems company, which seems to specialize in heavy trucks, but I can find no data on the current crew. The driver's cabin has the regular instrumentation of gas pedal, brakes, speedometer. air conditioning, two way radio. The ignition process is no simple turning of key. There is a 37 page checklist to be followed that involves charging circuits, pressurizing pnuematic and hydraulic systems, and setting up the generators. But I must wonder, what kind of acceleration does a 6 million pound vehicle get when carrying 12 millions pounds of cargo? Does he just tape the gas pedal to the floor and read the paper until the speedometer jumps from '0' to '1'?
Less than a mile per gallon, but man what a ride!!! 1979 F-250
a=f just took a trip in mine ,got 17 mi. to the gl. a=f

I have a 01 z24 cavvy (32+ mpg) that I haven't driven in 4-5 months because I am always on call and have to drive a stupid box truck (7 - 9 mpg) everywhere. Ps. since June 15th when I got the box truck I've put 28,000+ miles on it. Don't do the math it will make you sick.

VERY NICE.
My Wagoneer was getting 8-10 before I lifted it. That was with worn out motor and trans, 3.31 gears and 31 inch tires. I dont want to know what it will get with the same motor and trans with 4.10s and 35's. But I am going to guess around the same or worse.
well 8-18 in the monte depending on if i ope up the primary's gotta love q-jet's
my old 89 k with the stock 273's yes 273 and 32's got 8-12 then with the 3/4 ton axle's 410 gear's and 35's bumped it up to 14-16
my 84 c10 befor i broke the rear axle and both ujount's at the same time got 7mpg and that was also with 273's and 235 tire's adn it's only a small block ;D
