My wife's 2003 TrailBlazer LS, 4WD, I6, bought with 82k on it, was getting an average of 18 MPG, combined city/highway, when we first bought it. I haven't checked it lately. I'm hoping whatever TB I end up with will do at least the same.
I'm encouraged, tho. Of three gas mileage reporting sites I checked: The later TBs are generally reported to get marginally better mileage than the earlier ones. 2003 LS 4WD I6 average was about 17.4 MPG. The 2007 LS 4WD I6 average: 17.8.
Based on watching how my fellow drivers behave (see above): I expect to beat the averages

The harm is wasting money and time, but to each their own. I work to hard for my money. I dream of better mpg, but for what I have done to my truck. It is decent. I guess I could start rteplacing things that might be worn or could be better, but since I am in line with similar rigs...I won't waste my time or money.
If everyone agreed his mpg's were not typical or they had dropped significantly, then I completely understand, but that was not the case. He "felt" it should be better when it was right in line with many people's calculations.
