Let me tell you when gas hit 3.60-3.70 in 07 I purchased an 05 4x4 trailblazer with 16k for $12,500 it was a steal! I have it up for sale now and it will easily draw 9,500 to 10,000.

chevy trailblazer inline 6 is putting out more horsepower than most trucks, it amazes me.

My 8000# Chevy Duramax gets 25-26 mpg on the highway. Exhaust and a programmer goes a long way
Kamikaze,
Don't feed that thing Chili Beans or you will never pass the EPA Specs.

I have 77k on it now. I did very little in 61k. 1 coil pack, spark plugs, and needs a fuel sending unit. This was my first chevy outside of a free chevette it was a solid truck.

That's the problem. The owner's manual recommends fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Beans and beer are about the only thing I am aware of that are capable of producing this level of octane.

Bad Gas
This whole gas thing gives me cramps! My 2004 Chevy 4x 4 truck with 59,000 miles,not a scratch, loaded with heated leather, on star, bose stereo ect. was only worth $12,000 on trade to dealers when gas was $2.60 per gallon. Can you amagine what they give me on trade now that gas is 3.50? Also the Chevy Volt does not come standard with a trailer hitch.

no offense, but a Dakota may be a truck to some, but I am referring to full size "trucks" the 3/4 ton variety. A truck that can haul a serious load of firewood, pull a house size trailer down the street, 3000 pounds of dirt in the back, goes up a mountain pulling a 4 place steel enclosed trailer with 5 sleds and gear in it without slowing down, type of truck, guess I wasn't to clear on that. My 3/4 350 chev. gets. 12.5 at best. my 3/4 ton 454 suburban that I had with 4:10 gears got 9 at best and did more like 7.5 all around. My wimpy 1/2 ton Dodge Hemi gets between 12.8 (pulling 2 place aluminum trailer) and 15.2 (totally empty box and cab, but me) realistic MPG. it has a gauge on the ceiling that tells me this that I have checked to be pretty accurate. My wifes "Roller Skate" Buick Rendezvous with a 6 banger geared to barely pull itself out of the way gets 18 to 23 mpg at best.

Again?
Didn't we just go through this a few years ago? Large pickups were worth nothing for a while but have bounced back like nothing happened. Same thing will happen again here.
