Indeed. There’s no way they get 10 MPG with an I6 Trailblazer unless something is horribly wrong, because I get 14 combined with an SS with full-time AWD and an LS2, driving like an asshat and spraying. There’s also very few choices that will take you up to 20 MPG without compromising the utility portion that supposedly is important. Sounds like a higher-sitting Corolla isn’t going to cut it.
