If you plan on keeping it, there are some good mods that will boost your gas mileage. I had a 2002 Blazer that was getting like 15mpg. When I added a K&N ramcharger system, cat back, underdrive pulleys - and especially a shift program designed to shift EARLIER and not kickdown so eagerly, I got some really notable gas mileage gains - went up to about 18mpg - and this is all city driving - no highway cruising at all (and with a lead foot too).
