I have even chipped my truck to try and get better gas mileage. Averaging 12 mpg's. New gas filter, air filter, plugs and wires. I got this code, (p1626), which is the Theft deterent system fuel enable circuit. Can this be my problem? It still hauls really good. My 95 S-10 used to average 20 mpg's in the city. Same motor!

Chances are you have a problem with an O2 sensor or a partially plugged catylatic converter. Have any other codes codes come up? Also, I believe the 4.3L V6 with 4wd averages around 14 MPG in the city.
