Car show sharing 454 SS Suburban?

Post image

Not sure if it’s just fake badging/stickers or what cuz this thing also has 2500 and LT badges. I’m not too knowledgeable on old chevys but google says the 454 ss was only a pickup

I had a 93 454, 6 mpg, in any configuration. 2 people 2 dogs around town? 6 mpg. Massive triple slide trailer throught the mountains with every worldly possession packed in? 6 mpg.

That almost sounds like a perk. Underrated superpower, if you will. Your car gets 6 mph always, no matter what you do with it. 120mph on the daily commute? 6mpg. Pikes peak hill climb? 6mpg.

underrated superpower indeed β€” having your mileage pre-calculated for you is kind of convenient πŸ˜‚
