hummm..... I guess i never really thought much about the weight since all the mid 80's g bodies had 273's and gotta be with-in 500 pounds of a 2wd blazer......but i dunno for sure......i can pick up the entire set-up for less that 100 bucks so maybe i'll just try it too see....... i really wanna keep this blazer but i need to get 30mpg or so out of it......idea??
I am getting 16mpg. This only happened after I put in a K&N air filter, just the stock replacement. Before that I was only getting 14mpg. I just put in Mobil 1 synthetic, so amybe it'll go up a couple mpg.
I'm getting between 19-21 mpg with my 96 4x4 4 door. I have the 4.3L and I'm not sure about the gear ratio. I do about 85% Hwy driving and the rest in a rural town; ie. Little or no stop and go. I've found that I've slowed down my driving style since getting this truck. I used to drive a Honda Prelude, and I averaged about 75-80 mph, but now I drive between 65 and 70mph on the highway.
Man I just owned my 02 4dr jimmy for 2 weeks and this thing is an absoloute PIG!!!! I had a jeep tj "wrangler" which got me 410km's per tank, same tank size and i'm lucky if I hit 300km's with this horrid gas guzzler. I should of bought a Hemi would of saved gas :-(

And no, unless it's one of the 07+ Hemi's with the Dodge version of Active Fuel Management (in the trucks it's 06/07+) you'd be getting worse...
Currently I'm getting an average of 16.9 MPG, but that's slowly going down as I've been doing more and more city driving

Since I last reset the meter, I've done about 1000kms worth of highway driving and like 300 worth of city driving... Averages about 21 MPG @ 69 MPH going up to 74 MPH drops that down to about 18 MPG or so...
My record high of 24 MPG @ 74 MPH was done in Feb... Which means the winter gas mix, lol.
I'm getting 18 city and 20 highway. Had to put in a cold air intake and full synthetic. But this is much better considering when I got my Blazer I was getting 12-13. I'm sure my mileage would be better if I wasn't at 7200ft.Sorry, should have edited this into my original post but I couldn't find it lol
