Re: What have I bought? A 72 Blazer!
I run about 2300 rpm at 60-65 so It's not too bad. Get about 10-12 mpg but when you are driving a lifted 5000 pound brick you can't get much better unless you run a Diesel. I usually try to Keep it around 60 mph. Seems to be the perfect compromise without having overdrive. Those seats look killer for a cheap apolstry by the way. Keep hammering on it.
