What is the typical fuel economy for a 1979 GMC Jimmy with a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine?

Question

Accepted Answer

For a 1979 GMC Jimmy with the 350 cubic-inch V8 engine, you can typically expect:

City driving: 12-15 mpg
Highway driving: 16-18 mpg
Combined real-world driving: 13-16 mpg

These figures are consistent with EPA data from the era and owner reports. The Jimmy's full-size SUV design and 4WD system contribute to these fuel consumption numbers, which were competitive with similar vehicles of that era like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee.
