What's the gas mileage like on both of the trucks? That's what you're really going to want to look at, not the fill-up price. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 254 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 254 | the blazer probly just has alot bigger tank and if its an 86 with an automatic it probly has overdrive which would cut down your rpms

Each takes me about a week on a tank. This week I'm driving the 'burb.
