I think your mileage also depends on what gear ratio you are running, I have a 98 4 door 4X4, with a 3:42 rear end and get about 15.5 in the city. Highway driving, the very best I gave seen is about 21 mpg cruising around 72 mph.

I'm in a 2002 2dr 2WD and am consistently hitting 16.x. I'm not light on the throttle but I odn't try to hot rod it by any means. I'm more concerned about getting the engine to quiet down. The engine itself seems really loud compared to my 2000 Firebird.

I don't usually let it go past 150-175 miles on the tank as my fuel level sensor needs to be replaced and I'm waiting for the fuel pump to go before I do that.

I can tell you that in town, I get horrible gas milage, maybe 12-16 MPG (lots of stop lights) but on the the freeway I clocked 22-24 MPG depending on what road conditions I was in. Everyything in the engine compartment is stock. 2WD 2000 LT

I get at least 285 out of every tank. Normally between 17.5 and 17.8mpg. I drive my Blazer fairly hard, also.

Brand new fuel system besides the fuel lines and brand new ignition from dissy to the plugs and everything in between.

i'm getting 400km to 60L. s that's be 15L/100km, or 15mpg.

doesn't matter if i'm doing the whole tank on the highway, with the cruise set @ 115 KPH (70 MPH) or my usual 30/70 city/highway driving.
