I want to find out what everyone gets for gas mileage . I guess this would be like a poll , for example : I have a 2002 blazer 4dr with a 4.3, and i get about 16 - 17 mpg .

I have a '91 2Door S-10 4WD Blazer with 4.3, automatic, and it gets from 16 to 18 mpg. with a combination of in town and freeway driving. I guess I'd call it in town driving, since the freeway time is pretty short and it never gets a chance to really cruise. It is usually loaded with stuff and I just put more air in the tires, which I wonder if will make a difference. I haven't gone on a road trip yet, so don't know what it gets on just the freeway. Nor have I driven it in 4WD yet. I did notice a jump in mileage after a tune-up about 1500 miles ago, but since then it seems to be falling back, and I wonder why.

I just did a full tune up on my 2000 Bravada that included the front upstream O2 sensors. Before the tune up, I was getting 13-14mpg around town with lots of stops. After, I'm getting around 17mpg on my drive in to work with it this week, but I can't really compare this drive to what I was driving before the tuneup... I think it should still be better than 17mpg for the drive that I have... And I also think that it has some more issues that I need to diagnose further as soon as I get time.

Our 2005 Jimmy has run a best of 26.45 mpg (Imperial) on a highway run. 22-23 mph with mixed driving. 18K kilometers with zero problems. Hope I can say the same at 300K.

The '91 with the messed-up engine (needs to be rebuilt ) got 16 mpg surprisingly. Now the '95 that I just bought gets about the same-but I do mostly city driving.

I forgot to mention that our Jimmy has the 5 speed which is 3-4 mpg better that the automatic. Here in Canada the automatic has an $800 gas guzzler tax while the 5 speed costs $400. The only time the truck was under 20 mpg (Imperial) was when it was brand new with the worst being 17 mpg (Imperial).

Hey, what is the fuel cost in Canada? In Rhode Island, we are at $2.51 per gallon

For comparison of Imperial MPG to US MPG, 1 Imperial Gallon is 1.2 US Gallons. So for the above mpg, if you are getting 20mpg(Imp), that is ~17mpg(US). The aforementioned '05 Blazer getting 26.45mpg(Imp) is 22.04mpg(US).

Imperial gallon (of 160 Imp. fl. oz) 4.54609 L
US gallon (of 128 (US) fl. oz, 231 in^3) 3.78541 L

So if US gal = 3.78L & Imp gal = 4.54L, 1 Imp gal = 1.2 US gal.

On gas prices, Canadians typically pay MUCH more per gallon than those of us in the US. Your gas price is very good. I just paid $2.78/US gallon at Walmart with $0.03/gallon off. I'm in Central NY.

Just yesterday I paid $2.88/gallon of premium (92 octane) for the Bonneville. The price is going down now. Regular was $2.68/gallon yesterday at Wal-mart.

well i just picked up an 05 trailblazer with the 4.2 and im getting an average of about 16 mpg

so that and the "issues" my truck has means I will never recomend one to anyone. ive always owned chevy's but after my last 2 and this one giving me problems after the first week i just might buy a ford next

not to mention an oil change takes 7 quarts seriosly 7 quarts. and does any one know where i can find a k&n style airfilter i can't seem to find one yet.

back when i had my 96 s-10 i got about 18-20 average but it think my old suburban takes the cake when it comes to gas mileage i actualy averaged about 20-25 mpg and it was an 89 2wd with a 350 in it.... i miss that old truck besides the better gas mileage it was always fun scaring oncoming traffic in winter by driving down the road sideways
