Pick this GMC when a small pickup body, two-wheel drive, and a four-speed manual are central to your needs. Its 23 MPG combined rating is the headline number, but the 21 MPG city result matters if most trips are urban. Highway-oriented drivers get the stronger 26 MPG rating. The EPA fuel-cost estimate is $2,900 a year, so fuel spending is a major part of the decision. This truck's gasoline powertrain and 386.39 grams-per-mile tailpipe CO2 figure also define its running trade-offs.
What it is
This 1984 GMC S15 Pickup 2WD is a pickup in the EPA's Small Pickup Trucks 2WD class. It uses gasoline, sends power through two-wheel drive, and has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual transmission.
The numbers
The figure to watch is 23 MPG combined. That rating blends the truck's 21 MPG city figure with its 26 MPG highway figure.
In city driving, 21 MPG means more fuel stops than the highway rating suggests. Steady highway trips are rated at 26 MPG.

Who it suits
It suits a buyer who wants a small pickup and is comfortable with two-wheel drive, gasoline power, and a manual gearbox.
Its EPA numbers fit drivers who can make use of the 26 MPG highway rating, while accepting 21 MPG in city driving.
Trade-offs
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder and manual four-speed keep the powertrain straightforward, but this is still a gasoline truck with a listed $2,900 annual fuel cost.
Two-wheel drive places it in the 2WD small-pickup class. Its city rating is lower than its highway rating, at 21 versus 26 MPG.
