I have an '88 S-10 blazer and at the moment im getting around 15 mpg i know its less than they are supposed to be but this is my first blazer so i was curious.

lol mines gets about the same crappy mileage as yours lol but yours is tbi so it should be better than 15mpg

I think part of the problem is that my converter is starting to plug up b/c i also had a hesitation problem to so i took the hammer to is and black shit come spewing out of the exaust.

[TuckerR1980]

Before you touch your cat, do a tuneup.

Yeah i had two 2.8's, they get crappy milage and lack power, thats just the way they were, thats why i have a 4.3L now. A tune up wouldn't hurt though.
