If it's all city driving and you have a heavy foot 12.5 mpg is possible. If I'm in town and easy on it I get 15mpg.

I'm getting @ 18-19mpg. Mix of city and expressway driving. It's a 2001 LT Blazer 4x4 with 3.42 open rear. It's in 4-auto all the time. It has 168k miles. No real deep service. Still has the original injector spider and o2 sensors. It runs pretty smooth but it doesn't have the power it used to. It does need some front end work. It's a bit loosey goosey in the steering and during a turn, it sounds and feels like you're going over some rumble strips.

Just did a lot of highway driving recently and got 240 miles on one tank. Got almost 18 mpg. Definitely a person best for me!
