Well Charlie I have probably said this before but the fuel injected 4.3 
litre engine in my 97 Blazer seems to burn just as much gas as the 403 Olds 
V8 in my 81 pickup. Seems a little strange  to me but thats the experience I 
have . I will admit the fuel injected 4.3 is a lot more "user friendly" on a 
cold start. The Olds takes a lot of warm up before it will pull smoothly 
without stalling. But once its hot, hold onto your hat!!!!!!!!!!
