I have a 4WD, 4DR, AT 1998. I drive mostly in town with a few hiway miles to work (2 miles hiway, one-way). My previous calculation for hiway driving was about 20 MPG.

I'm gettin' about 16-17mpg in my 2003 LS Blazer. Still got the stock engine, gear ratio, and all that jazz. The only upgrades that would affect the mpg's is maybe the wind drag from the brush guard (if any) and the flowmaster super 44. Anyone know anything that could help with the mpg's?

depending on how many miles it has i simple transmission flush could help your mpg's also a fuel induction service can help but not the fuel injector cleaners you can buy at autozone the real stuff they use at shops like tires plus that they put in an atomizer or whatever its called and run the car purely on that would help

Default updated mpg report

Went on a hunting trip this weekend, been raining like crazy here so i switched it to auto4wd on the drive down there... been stuck in auto4wd since friday afternoon. 200 mile round trip, cruise control on 70 for the most part.

needless to say i was shocked to average 21 mpg.
