    I drive a S-10 Blazer ZR2 and that thing is a joke! 17 or 18 mpg. If I
   had to drive it to and from work it would have to go! That 4.3 vortec
   is inefficient as they come. Thats a small vehicle getting that kind of
   mileage. I can see why GM dropped the vortec v6. With that kind of
   mileage you might as well be driving a full sized.
