How many mpg are you guys getting

I was just curious. im really screwed up by this. if my calculation are correct. 12.5 per gallon. thats freakin terrible, right?

i have a 95 with the cpi. flowmaster exhaust and custom intake. city i get about 15-16 mpg and highway its closer to 25mpg. i am also one tire size bigger.

93 S-10 Blazer, 4.3 CPI
Mine gets an average of 20-21 mpg in warm weather, 16-18 in cold weather.

ha ha, too funny. A combination of highway and city driving i pulled just over 24.5 mpg last time I clocked. He He He, sorry I'm on the blazer forum, just had to stop by. I'll leave now.

GirlBear,
Give her a tune up with, AC delco plat plugs, wires, cap,rotor,air and fuel filters, Clean the MAF, your miles will come right back to you. My 98LS 2wd gets 17-18 city 23-24 Hwy in warm weather. And remember to send pictures of your work.
:evillol:

17-18 city 20-26 highway that varies as the last time i took a trip i had 28mpg.
91 4.3 tbi

20 city (21.6 with cheap gas)

26 highway

That would be a good idea. And it may be time to change her thermostat, too. It is pretty common for them to stick open a little and not allow the engine to warm up enough for the PCM to enter closed loop. Without being in closed loop the PCM won't monitor and adjust the air/fuel ratio.

18 or so city/highway compained

Wolfox he has a blazer that gets some mpg.Lets wait blazee for him to get in on this.

Wolfox and BlazerLT haven't been on here in a few days...hmmmm....I wonder if they ran away together. :gay:

:naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

I get 21 mpg with 31 " tires and converted 89 model to high performance carb set up. With plenty of tire ripping power .

98 4x4 - I average 22mpg's butu I do almost all highway driving.

I get about 20 mpg with 30 inch tires

Well that could be LOL.Maybe he bought an Autozone store and is setting it up.We know how he likes to get in the zone Autozone

18-22mpg a combination of city and highway

around 20mpg both city and hwy. 95 Chev Blazer, 4 door 4x4, all stock engine. Black, mmmmmmmm... sweet ride..

15mpg city / 24mpg highway

135,000 miles.

Oh my god! your gonna laugh at this shit. The guy I bought my blazer from, Drilled holes in the thermostat. His reason, It wasn't opening. He physicaly removed a $3 part and drilled holes in it and then put it back in. a F***ing $3 part. I can just imagine what else he cobbed. If $3 is too expensive. I don't even wanna know. When he told me this, I was like speechless. This coming week-end I am Installing a new amp for the Boom Boom. Plugs Wires Oil Filter Gas filter Coolant/anti-freeze, and maybe an alternator. I'm also buying euro-tails and clear corners. Oh yeah and when I've saved up the cash by next summer and buy wheels and tires. I'm lifting her not lowering her. Why drop a 4wd truck?

YOU GO GIRLBEAR.......

95 CPI, 18 locally, just got 26 hwy consitantly on a round trip from pittsburgh to hartford connecuit and back.

Tune the engine up BEFORE you install an amp.

Also remember air filter and the pcv valve.

16 in city / 20ish on the highway.. 97 LT 4x4 blaze.

I am married but by god I will throw her out the door if you will marry me. :iceslolan

Seriously though raise that shit up. I can't stand seeing a 4X4 on the ground, its just not right. I am still saving my way to a 3/3 lift with bigger tires. Not sure how much bigger yet.

BTW I get about 13-15 MPG city.

i have a 95 GMC jimmy. i get about 15 city and 19-20 highway (without cruise control) after new cpi and nut kit. i also have K&N FIPK but stock exhaust (performance system on the way).

Looks like we are all driving gas guzzlers.

In my section of town, there is lights everywhere.

I get 13.7mpg around here now and 24 on the highway.

THe tales of my death, running off with BlazerLT or starting an Autozone location are exagerated at best. At the moment though, waiting for the payroll office where i work to cough up a bonus so I can replace a recently ruptured fuel regulator. Car-pooling with the roomie's getting to look better and lamer by the moment - but I digress. My really good fuel economy is in the pits along with gasoline prices, but guess which is rising faster at the moment? Was getting really good mileage, but now she barely runs at all, so she sits awaiting a CPI and nut kit to arrive. *sigh*

you sure it is not your EGR valve?

I have 94 S-10 Blazer Tahoe. I'm getting around 24 miles to the gallon.

I was just curious. im really screwed up by this. if my calculation are correct. 12.5 per gallon. thats freakin terrible, right?

GirlBear, I know your miles per gallon is shit, But the real and more important question should be, How many Smiles per gallon are you getting?

Its kind of sad that a v8 suburban or tahoe gets better gas milage then our v6's

Wow!! Isn't that sweet. Smiles per Gallon. I'd say after reading that smooooooth line, a bit less now. just kiddin.

Pretty certain. It was one of the things I checked out again when the engine started running poorly at idle but was not setting codes. EGR would let it idle rough, but then set a DTC when you reached full operating temps at cruising speeds. No DTC at all, just sitting there, loping and spewing what smells like half-burned gas-stink out of the exhaust. :P Lifting out the IMTV not only revealed pooling, but a very clean passenger side in the plenum. A tap on the key to let it run the fuel pump makes the fuel regulator leak gas like a cheesecloth. :P
you sure it is not your EGR valve?

Oh man, get that changed ASAP and drop the oil NOW.

Don't let you bearings sit in a gas bath.

Way ahead of you. Dropped in some 10w-30 Rotella and idled it for a few minutes to circulate the fresh oil. Battery's since been removed and put up on a trickle charger as the truck now sits until I get the parts together. Luckily I have access to a second vehicle - when the roommate's in the mood to part with the keys.

Still remove the oil again.

You just put more gas into the oil?

What part of DON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DROP THE OIL do you not understand.

lol, you drop your oil and then you run the engine again where gas is being sprayed some more?

2000 GMC Jimmy SLE, 4.3L. 18.5-19.0 driving approx. 75% freeway driving.

Man, city driving in this thing stinks i am only averaging 15 mpg in city driving...

stop and go is the worst for gas mileage. u can do some little things to help (no, not mod the truck). 1. drive with the windows up. 2. don't use drive throughs (idling all that time eats gas). 3. maintain correct tire psi.

I am lucky now to get 15mpg in this town. Stop and go like crazy.

Last was 14mpg.

It's all getting swapped again in a week. Pffft, relax dude. You'll live longer. :D I watched a co-worker this week fall off the map from a stroke, scary shiznat to watch... My truck's in the best possible hands at the moment... my own. I'll deal with her in time. ;)

Still, drop the oil. You have done nothing but remove the old gas filled oil and add some new gas filled oil.

Drop the oil, close up the oil pan and let it sit.

Would you do it please?I dont need a dead moderator on my mind because you wouldnt drop the oil, im back to wireless land lol

*sigh* Okay, okay - I'll drop the oil *again* this weekend. My online buds and friends are worth at least another stout change of Rotella. I figure once I get her fuel tight again, I will run her on a quick oil change (2000 miles) Of full synth Rotella if I can *find* it, then switch the beutiful blue beast over to a steady diet of Catrol Syntec....I shit you guys not, I have a CLOSET full of the stuff. I ought to get a picture of that up in the off-topic thread. :)

Edit: Spelling goofs - yeah, sorta anal about crap in my own way too...

98 4x4 - I average 22mpg's butu I do almost all highway driving.

Currently, I get about 16-19 mpg on my 98'. I have 129,000 miles with original parts. Rumor has it that if you invest in a good tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, etc.), add a K&N filter, have your intake & throttle body cleaned thoroughly, clean your injectors and replace your fuel filter you could get an estimated 25 - 32 mpg! (highway miles I'm sure).

I am lucky now to get 15mpg in this town. Stop and go like crazy.

Last was 14mpg.
i filled up today. got 16.5 with city + 2 half hr highway trips. our town has so many signals and stop signs. i guess city mileage depends on what city ur in, lol :lol: .

Just leave the oil out.

Also, just flush with conventional oil for 1000 miles after the change.

Cheap Walmart synthetic will do.

So true.

It is so bad here. I know it is just the nature of the truck seeing once I hit the highway, it jumps up to 24mpg even with 135,000+ miles on the odometer.

I find it hard to believe that some of the blazers in here get over 25 miles
per gallon highway. I have only had 21 miles per gallon highways (flat road)
I have P235R15Goodyear Wranglers RT/S Tires. When I drive in the Fall
or Winter or Spring its stays the same. In the City I get 14-16 miles per
gallon. When I use the AC I get 18 miles per gallon and almost nothing
in the city (12-14 miles per gallon.) My truck is 1996 LS Chevy Blazer
4x4 2Dr. I guess some of the trucks in here have been modified somewhat.
My brother has a 2004 2WD TrailBlazer that gets 22 miles per gallon highway
and 15-17 miles per city driving.
:2cents:

I get about 26mpg but I drive almost solely freeways. Scared to see what it turns to this winter (I live in cold ass Calgary, Alberta).

200,000 km

Not hard to believe at all... Take some factors into account... Elevation, tempretures, moisture, how heavy you are on the gas (leadfoot vs. grandma) tire inflation, mods, (hell my efan and egr mod netted me some good miledge gains, about 4 mpg) you have to remember all sorts of conditions contribute to minor variations in miledge.

What is an efan and egr mod? Sorry if this is a dumb question. A 4 mpg gain would be great.

Egr mod is an egr modifacation. (I am not exactly sure what they do to it but I am sure you can find it on here using the search) The e-fan is an electronic fan. With the e-fan you don't need to run the fan off your pulley and belt so you save the power. I am pretty sure I am right.

I was getting about 12 to 13, but that's 1/2 highway and 1/2 off roading.
When I started using acetone it went up to 20. Over the same terrain in simular weather conditions

2.8L carburated motor, 4.10 gears with an automatic.
Living at a high ellevation.

I've got an E-fan on now, and haven't checked it. It's sure nice to have when crawling up some of the places where I go.

I am sooooooooooooooooooo freakin happy. 1 full tank of gas lasted for 418 miles drove it right to E-empty. that comes out to 20.9 mpg. im satisfied with that.:naughty::lol2::lol::ylsuper::bananasmi

WHAT! What size gas tank do you have? If you have an 18 gallon gas tank and you go 418 miles and run it until it stalls on empty you would only be getting 23.2. So if you have a 20 gallon gas tank that would be right on the money. I thought you had an 18 gallon gas tank??? Please correct me if I am wrong

Looks, brains and she can swing a wrench! And even an Blazer with good fuel economy!
What more can a guy want!

I'm sure that some guy out there is a real lucky guy :smile:
