What gas mileage do you guys get ?
I have a '91 2Door S-10 4WD Blazer with 4.3, automatic, and it gets from 16 to 18 mpg. with a combination of in town and freeway driving. I guess I'd call it in town driving, since the freeway time is pretty short and it never gets a chance to really cruise. It is usually loaded with stuff and I just put more air in the tires, which I wonder if will make a difference. I haven't gone on a road trip yet, so don't know what it gets on just the freeway. Nor have I driven it in 4WD yet. I did notice a jump in mileage after a tune-up about 1500 miles ago, but since then it seems to be falling back, and I wonder why.
I just did a full tune up on my 2000 Bravada that included the front upstream O2 sensors. Before the tune up, I was getting 13-14mpg around town with lots of stops. After, I'm getting around 17mpg on my drive in to work with it this week, but I can't really compare this drive to what I was driving before the tuneup... I think it should still be better than 17mpg for the drive that I have... And I also think that it has some more issues that I need to diagnose further as soon as I get time.
I own a 4wd s-10 blazer with a v6 and it used to only get like 16 until they discovered my front axel was always in gear..once that got fixed..I got over 22 miles a gallon going back home laborday weekend...and average about 18 back and forth to work...however my dad swears it's only in my head..but I swear...the more I tow and haul with that truck...the gas milage gets better...I had two boats on the roof and I was towing a full 6x12 u-haul....my truck didn't even flinch....same with 4wd...just me I suppose....man I love my truck!!!!!
