Efficient Engine Design

One of the most important factors that can influence the fuel efficiency you are able to achieve is the engine under the hood. For the Blazer, you’ll find a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which pumps out an impressive 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque—plenty of power for the local roadways.

This engine is also paired with an innovative 9-speed automatic transmission. This transmission will work to optimize engine performance while seamlessly and efficiently shifting gears. It also contributes toward the impressive fuel economy of this SUV—an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG.

The transmission is not the sole system responsible for the impressive fuel economy of this SUV. It also as Automatic Stop/Start working for it. This system is able to detect when you’ve come to a complete stop, say at a red light, and then shut down your engine accordingly to conserve fuel. Then when you remove your foot from the brake and are ready to resume driving, the SUV’s engine will automatically turn on again.

A Note on Space, Versatility, and MPG

As a member of the SUV class, the Blazer obviously comes ready to haul gear with its advanced space and impressive towing capacity. The latter stands at 4,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped.

While you have this ability to store gear and 30.5 cubic feet of cargo volume to work with, you will want to make sure you remove your items from the cabin when you reach your destination. This is because any excess weight in your vehicle can have an impact on the fuel economy you are able to earn.

So, making sure you remove any unnecessary items from the cabin once you reach your destination can help ensure you achieve optimal fuel economy.

Additional Fuel-Saving Practices

There are some other practices you can undertake with your Chevy Blazer to help maximize the fuel economy you are able to earn. For instance, using cruise control where applicable can help ensure you have a smooth and balanced driving experience. This in turn promotes an even use of gas and better fuel economy.
