How many miles to a tank of gas?
pulling my 14' camp trailor and two four wheers behind my camper i got 13.7 mpg. no tow and freeway driving i get around 19.4 mpg. in town i get 16.6 mpg. all in all not bad i've put quite abit of time money and effort puting this rig together it still needs moore work, i will continue to replace needed parts and will adentualy see a 10% increase in millage i hope!

I'm averaging ~20mpg. When my o2 sensor was bad it was ~14mpg. You bet I changed that sucker REAL quick. I fill up 280-300 miles. Can't say exactly...because when I fill like I am on fumes I fill up as my gas gauge does not work properly.
Last couple of times I checked, it was between 18-19 mpg, about 50/50 city/highway driving. Around 250 miles on a 14 gal. fill-up.
Like many others here... the gas gauge is off-kilter. It reads "E" and the low fuel light comes on with 4-5 gallons left in the tank. That works out well for me, as I have a habit of forgetting to stop for gas... Haven't run out yet with this vehicle.

Poor subject for me. Around town I'm getting 13. I do a lot of towing with my boat and business and all. So when I'm doing that I get about 9 mpg. Mainly thats because I have 33'' tires on 342 gears. Not the best combination. But I sure tell you what the Blazer is a tropper about it. 160K and going strong. Few parts here and there but a solid vehicle. Highway I'm getting aout 16mpg. I do a lot of driving down to Ft. Myers so I get to see my mpg a lot lol. I get 230 miles a tank though. Used to get right at 300 before I lifted it
like just about every other forum member, i'd like to see your proof jonny.
'cause personally, i can't see how these 2nd trucks could get that mileage. all of my 1st gens got better mileage, with my '92 jimmy getting a constant 21 mpg (and that wasn't driving like Grandma either!)
currently average 16.2 to 17.4 mpg with 70/30 (highway/city) driving. best i've ever had was 20.25 mpg, but that was constant 60 mph driving, and not too much stuff loaded in the Blazer.
