My trucks get: 1949 Dodge, when it runs, 12-16; 1969 Dodge 6-9; 1985 C10 16-24; 1994 Ranger23-26. That's with 218 cid flathead 6/3spd manual, 318 V8/3spd auto, 4.3L V6/3spd auto, 2.3L I4/5spd manual. The 1987 gets measured in gallons per mile, C60 bucket truck with a 350 industrial and a PTO equipped 4 speed manual.
