does the exhaust smell strongly of sulfur?? also does it idle rough? check the plugs and see if their fouled out. if the exhaust smells like sulfur and ur plugs r fowling out and u have rough idle along w/ the bad mpg then it might be that the fuel lines in the plenum r bad and leak. this happend to me on my 94 blazer w/ the 4.3.
