Just bought 97 v6 blazer 4x4 w 64k miles and was wondering what kind of gas mileage you all get oout of your same set up stock

 

about 15-17

 

Really? I expected a little better for some reason. That's about what I get with a '99 4x4. It will top 18 on the highway and even almost 24 on the interstate. But if it gets a whiff of city driving for either, it plummets. Then again my old TBI 4.3L S10 only got about 8. All the time.

If you search the forum, there should be a poll with a lot of mileage figures and a few possible ways to improve it

 

With a slipping trans I'm getting 12.7-14.3 city driving, so I would think if you drive halfway easy on the throttle, 15 is very easily attainable.

 

thanks for the info....jus done a small calculation went 78 miles at 55 mph slow take off and used 3.3 gal...thats drivin through town and out to the lake a few steep hills and coastin down the other side gettin about 23 24 miles a gallon not too shabby

 

i get about 24-26 highway

i get about 20-23 in town

my blazer all stock, running 235-75-15 GoodYear Wrangler Radials

 

Got a doubt ! (don't mind me a newbie in this stuff )... does not the mileage depends upon the speed ?

 

the less stop and go you do the more mpg you get...keep a constant speed the better gas mileage you get

 

Mine has a tbar tweek 30/9.50s airbox mod tb mod and exhaust. I get 14 to 15 in town. It was 12 before the breathing enhancements

 

Wound up getting a Scan gauge II from AutoZone (set up for for the MPG, water temp, TPS, and air intake temp).

[Direct from Scan gauge was $169, AutoZone was $159. Add a $20 AutoZone discount (rewards card) down to $139 plus tax.]
