i hear around 12-13ish range, i do 99.8% city driving so my gxp gets i would say 14-16 average, my dic says like 16.xx. so i mean to me the added AWD + towing/hauling capabilities is worth the extra 3-4 mpg's. also i absolutly hate FWD in the snow.

I've honestly just stopped caring. It's a 300+ hp V8.
However I do get phenomenal HWY mpg's with my tune. Like 28-30 going 72. City blows a bag of dicks though at like 15 and worse now since I idle for the winter with remote start.
Either way, I figured this wasn't an "economy" car when I went to buy it. If I was that concerned I would have bought an Acura or Honda.

P.S. What tune do you have again?

I was in for a shocker in the Trailblazer. I was getting around 17mpg overall in the Impala, which isn't bad for 75% city driving.
Well the Blazer is netting about 13mpg lol. I was thinking about 15, and I'm driving her easy! But I did find the air filter nearly plugged today when I was checking fluids. I'm pretty upset about it since it was 'serviced' the day I bought it. Good thing filters are cheap.
