I drive min130 mile highway daily need to get every mile out of a tank of gas. My 95 Jimmy is stock 4dr 4wd I just tuned it plugs wires rotor belts. I was thinking about going with air Intake and free flowing exaust any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

i'd try a drop in k&N less restrictive filter. i did spark plugs, pcv valve, fuel injector cleaner, fuel filter (only god knows how long its been in there), really fuel filters should be changed out every 12,000 miles but no one does i dont know why. i also put in a vac/turbo gauge and just use the vac side. when your running the highest vaccum your getting the best gas mileage. i did this and went from 14mpg to 19mpg (in the summer). right now im only getting 15 but thats temp. also when i was getting 19 in the summer i had probably 400-500 pounds of tools and miscelanious (yea thats not how you spell it) stuff . hope this helps

 

Buy a civic.

 

Or move closer.

 

wow sisk really. your a canadian too. dang. i burn civics instead of wood during the winter to keep warm. i sure aint buying forign you know what to run on road. i'd rather burn more saudi gas in a blazer but i sure as you know what aint supporting foreign auto companies. blazers might not be good on gas but at least your supporting your countries automakers* im with matt on this one move closer or try some of the stuff above

*sorry if this offends anybody but i believe everyones entiteled to their own opinion even if we disagree on this subject.

 

That's alot of miles for a commute. But is that just one way or round trip? Either way I think that once you start crunching numbers and taking into account wear and tear plus fuel cost, tire cost. Myself I agree with the other two replies.

 

Man, everything is made in china.... no but seriously... some stuff is not made where the manufacture is located.....

 

hmmm.... I should try all of those, too. I hate getting 16mpg in a 2WD!!!

 

i know that. the names are still american i guess. it just really ticks me off to see people not supporting their own workers

 

Spectreblazer- I'm pretty sure Sisk said that with sarcasm in mind and/or for humor's sake. These trucks aren't known for great gas mileage. I'm fairly certain we all love Blazers, Jimmys, Tahoes, Yukons, etc. but if we didn't then why would we be here or own the vehicles for that matter and talk about how we take care of them? Glad to see someone else though who buys American. I've only owned GM vehicles myself.

On topic: CAI is always a good bet, as is a better exhaust. However, someone told me that exhaust size upgrade doesn't net a huge gain in the MPG category. Be careful though- when I first did intake and exhaust on my Firebird, I missed the MPG gain though because my foot liked the HP gain more haha. Try the stuff Spectreblazer mentioned in his first post. I for one like to find out more about the vac/turbo gauge trick.
