Have you serviced the tranny and differentials lately? Believe me, it helps. Do you have a lot of stuff in your Blazer? Extra weight does not help fuel mileage.

Your blazer may be running rich(too much fuel, not enough air)or you could be running the hell out of it. I get 20mpg with my CAI and Flowmaster.

Also it may be time to get your cat changed.

Oh and check your MAF and filter for blockages.
