oops

 

I recently drove 8 hrs and kept track of the mpg. Worked out to be 21-22 mpg for the hwy.

 

'97 AUTO 4.3L 4dr 4x4 3.42 in rear 156XXX miles stock intake and exhaust. i average 19mpg, about 70% highway. easy acceleration, coast down hills and pop into neutral when i'm not going to speed up, or slow down soon. highway = 55mph
interstate = 60mph. if i mess around in fields i get about 16 average.

 

I figure I can throw mine up here too, just to compare.

Specifications: 1988 S-10 Blazer 2-door "Sport", 2.8L V6, 700R4 overdrive automatic, 4x4, 4.11 gear ratio, 69k original miles.

Driving habits: mostly city driving, occasionally some back-road highway adventures, fairly easy acceleration and braking, occasional 4x4 use (haven't gone through a winter yet with it).

I see a fairly constant 16mpg under these conditions. I expect it to drop some this winter, since I put a remote start on it, and I like using that to warm it up before/after work.

Highest mileage I've gotten out of it was about 18-19mpg, lowest was 14. The low was when I was playing around in 4x4 a lot crawling through some rocks. High was mostly just back and forth to work (about 8 miles each direction). I get better city mileage than highway in this little beast.

I'm happy with my mileage in it, however. It's a definite step up from the F-250 4x4 I had last year... That thing got 8mpg!

 

Internet wouldn't let me vote...

Yay for dropping gas prices

 

Could not vote either...But, just got back from a 16 hour round trip tour to the parents place.....

25.6 mpg (Imperial Gallon) cruising at 60 mph.....

That about 21 mpg for a U.S. gallon....

Thought it was pretty good as there were 3 of us plus all of our luggage...

Temperture is a contributing factor where gas mileage is concerned I check mine every fillup, in the summer the best I ever got (hwy) was 7.8kms per liter or 22.34 MPG Can. Gal or 18.3 MPG US. theaverage for around town 5.8 kms per liter or 16.5 mpg Can. or 13.6 mpg US. I just picked up a 05 trailblazer ext 4 X 4 with the 5.3 v8 I will post the results next week

 

It's not 16.5 mpg Canadian... It's Imperial measurements we use. [:'(]
