Re: fuel mileage k5 blazer guys?

Mr. Pops - You are getting 19.78 miles per Imperial gallon.
One US gallon = 0.83 Imperial gallons.
19.78 x 0.83 = 16.4 miles per US gal.
Class dismissed.

Well my 1ton crewcab 4x4 weighs 6000lbs (according to the truck scales) so I guess you'd have to subtract a transfer case and a front axle and add the weight of a front crossmember..haha ..oh, and minus the dually fenders.. I'd be curious to know what the difference is.
