6.0 Vortec MPG

[ChazMan]

I tried search MPG in the titles but came up with nothing.
I just bought an 2003 Escalade AWD with 6.0L.

What kind of MPG figure are you guys getting, City, Hwy, Average?
Is the dash meter MPG computer accurate?

Too late! I already got it. I only drive in weekends and ride a bike to commute. So far, my dash computer shows only 12 MPG in city. I don''t know how accurate that is though. I expected low MPG....

It is accurate. I bought that truck last year and always got 11-12.6, then in Dec 09 I added Magnaflow + CAI and over time my normal stop and go traffic is 14.5.

I too ride my bike to work everyday that it's not raining or cold.

It really depends on driving conditions. I have an 05 Denali XL and at 70 on level interstate the computer shows 18mpg. A headwind really screws that up. On the hilly highway by home it shows about 15 keeping it between 60 and 65. At 85 on interstate I get about 14. I don't do much city driving so I don't know how that is. The computer seems fairly accurate. Sometimes it's maybe 1 mpg off either way, but I imagine a lot of that is just how full the tank gets a fill ups.
