I've got over 40 vehicles with 6.2 diesels. The C-codes are 130 horse and 240 lb. ft. of torque. The J-codes a little better at 148 horse at 3600 RPM and 248 lb. ft. of torque at 2000 RPM.
Detroit Diesel originally built the 6.2 to match the power of the 305 gas engine - and that's about what it does - but with much better fuel mileage.
6.2 weighs 650 lbs - it's the lightest V-8 diesel ever made in the US - but that will change soon. GM, Ford-IH and Cummins all have new small V-8 diesels coming out.
I've seen several S10 2WDs with 6.2s. I've got two S10s with factory Isuzu 2.2 diesels - and they get up to 34 MPG. I also have a Chevy LUV 4WD diesel - again with a 2.2. and it only gets 27 MPG - but it has no overdrive and top speed is around 70 MPH.
My best fuel mileage 6.2 is in an 82 1/2 ton 4WD K10 pickup with four-speed manual overdrive. It has gotten 26 MPH highway. I've heard the 6.2s in S10s tend to get around 32-35 when geared properly - not much different than with the little Isuzu 2.2 diesels in regard to fuel mileage.

The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
