88, 2-dr, 4x4, 350 .040 over... 13 highway, thanks to the TPI

85, 2-dr, 2x4, 350 .030 over... 10 highway, thanks to the big carb

93, 4-dr, 4x4, 4.3 vortec... 0 mpg, thanks to the blown motor

 

The '91 with the messed-up engine (needs to be rebuilt ) got 16 mpg surprisingly. Now the '95 that I just bought gets about the same-but I do mostly city driving.

 

I forgot to mention that our Jimmy has the 5 speed which is 3-4 mpg better that the automatic. Here in Canada the automatic has an $800 gas guzzler tax while the 5 speed costs $400. The only time the truck was under 20 mpg (Imperial) was when it was brand new with the worst being 17 mpg (Imperial).

 

Hey, what is the fuel cost in Canada? In Rhode Island, we are at $2.51 per gallon

 

Guy...I just realized you are in Omemee...you hick LOL. Although, Oshawa is just a hick town in disguise...

 

For comparison of Imperial MPG to US MPG, 1 Imperial Gallon is 1.2 US Gallons. So for the above mpg, if you are getting 20mpg(Imp), that is ~17mpg(US). The aforementioned '05 Blazer getting 26.45mpg(Imp) is 22.04mpg(US).

Imperial gallon (of 160 Imp. fl. oz) 4.54609 L
US gallon (of 128 (US) fl. oz, 231 in^3) 3.78541 L

So if US gal = 3.78L & Imp gal = 4.54L, 1 Imp gal = 1.2 US gal.

On gas prices, Canadians typically pay MUCH more per gallon than those of us in the US. Your gas price is very good. I just paid $2.78/US gallon at Walmart with $0.03/gallon off. I'm in Central NY.

 

I just paid 84.3ยข/L last night.

 

Today-the 26th -gas is $2.49 in Milw. WI. Yay for me.

 

Just yesterday I paid $2.88/gallon of premium (92 octane) for the Bonneville. The price is going down now. Regular was $2.68/gallon yesterday at Wal-mart.

 

Update... $2.59/gal cheap stuff
