Default gas milage

Hello, so recently I have had an offer for a trade for my stock blazer, for a straight axle s10 lifted on 33s. I was wondering what the mpg would be around of the s10, I don't want to get below 10, and this is one of the biggest things stopping me from trading.

Does the guy who wants to trade know? Id ask him, otherwise its hard to say as every S-10/Blazer is different...

He ed trying to tell me like around 15 and that doesn't sound right. I want around 11 for me to get it. Also are parts gonna wear alot faster with the straight axle lift?

No I want the best mpg but 15 just seems high for it, like he might be lying is what I meant

So... take his 15, knock off 20% for that and what you got.. 12

Besides.. you know the vehicle, right? If it's a 4.3 vortec it's not what it is, it's what it can be made to be. 13- 15
