Gas mileage was excellent when I purchased it, five months later, now it eats gas.
The car is a money trap. You have to keep paying to fix it. There is always a problem with it. The Blazer is very unpredictable and not reliable. The dealer told us to bring it back in two years and we would break even with it. Now, I can't get rid of it. I am VERY upside down on the payments!! I just want to get rid of it. No one wants them!!!
GM dealerships won't even stand behind their work. They put in rebuilt transmissions instead of new transmission. They charge you an arm and a leg to get it fixed.
My husband has a Silverado truck and they were going to charge him $1,000 to replace a $100 part, which he did in 1 hour.
A period of 5 months depending on the miles put on the blazer could indeed led to a over consumption of gas. Did you ever try replacing the spark plugs, wires, cap or rotor. Did you ever do the recommended maintenance to the vehicle. Any vehicle not properly maintanied has the apparent possibility to consumer more gas than it orignally did. Don't down grade a vehicle on your blurred perception.
