RE: Gas Mileage
Ok I will take a look at stuff before replacing but will def replace the fuel pump since i have no records of it being replaced.
I have a block heater installed on it but dont have a driveway to plug it into.
BFG's are 235 75 15's
Currently have 124k on the clock
I know idling there gives 0mpg but i like my heat on cold mornings.
I'll update this weekend after i check out dist cap/rotor and plug wires to see if i'm losing insulation.

Dont you mean dress warm drperry? Haha.
I would manually check the milage too before going through too much trouble. That was the first thing I thought when I saw you were going by the digital thing.

RE: Gas Mileage
Muahaha. I get 29MPG! Well, strictly highway on cruise at 55MPH. But I still get better than most economy car's city mileage, in my 4X4 Blazer. At 60MPH strictly highway I get 26-27MPG. 65MPH=25-26, 70=about 23-24, 75=about 21-22. Oh, and 95=17MPG. Strictly city 15-16.
But seriously, 9MPG?! that's horrible, I mean, that's Dodge Ram mileage. Something's wrong man...

RE: Gas Mileage
Wow that's really crappy.. I thought my 14mpg city was bad. Maybe try what Lenny said to do about the tire pressure and see if that works. Also def replace the the fuel filter and check the air filter.

RE: Gas Mileage
Well, I talked too much, my apologies. In conclusion, I was saying "that's bad mileage, something is wrong". I hope I haven't made all of your lives too much more difficult.
IF I was talking to this guy in person, I'd start buy giving him examples of what he should be expecting out of his Blazer.
