But on average I get 17-18 city and 22-25 highway and I have a 98 blazer 4dr 4wd automatic, stock. -Lenny _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to 2000_BlzrLT) Post #: 2

RE: Mpg - 7/9/2007 7:02:05 PM    swartlkk Posts: 12988 Joined: 5/1/2005 From: Waterloo, NY Status: offline There are an astronomical number of things affecting mileage.  With my Bravada, I never got better than 18.9mpg, but I also never took long trips with it.  Longest drive I took with it was when I moved and that was only 60 some odd miles with a loaded down truck.  That was when I got the 18.9mpg.  I would routinely show instantaneous mileage in the upper 20's when crusing down the thruway, but since I never just filled up, drove til empty and filled up right away again, my mileage dropped.  That truck was also AWD and had the 3.73 gearing. The state of the entire vehicle will either help or hinder it's efficiency.  _____________________________ Kyle- The new - '04 Buick Rainier CXL The old - '00 Olds Bravada - Traded 5/30/07 The restoration - 1970 Chevelle (in reply to lennyblazer) Post #: 3

RE: Mpg - 7/21/2007 4:40:24 AM    aris_unlimited   Posts: 231 Joined: 3/30/2006 Status: offline wow, something must be horribly wrong with my blazer lol. No upgrades (other than CD player) and in town driving I get a definite 14mpg (top speed of 35) and on the highway I get 18mpg (65mph). Although I did find that driving at 55mph greatly improves my gas mileage to over 20mpg but the highway near me is set for 75mph and I tick people off enough going just 65mph lol. _____________________________ Cars: 2000 Chevy Blazer 4.3L 4WD LT, 2004 Nissan 350z 6speed.

RE: Mpg - 7/21/2007 1:12:16 PM    drperry Posts: 3852 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline Back when my Blazer was stock on the outside, and all I had was a Hypertech tune, I pulled 24MPG on the highway @ 75 MPH... I haven't actually done a real/measured highway trip since I got the 30" tires and brushguard put on... Around town, I average 15 MPG... If I really really really baby it, I can swing 17 - 20 MPG... But it's almost always bang on 15MPG... And I'm not really that.... Nice to the throttle, lol _____________________________ (in reply to aris_unlimited) Post #: 10
