I know I get better than that, but not sure of the exact #s. It always stays around 16. I have reset it a couple of times. I just got the 22s on so I'm not sure how mush of a difference that makes. I drive it hard, I'm constantly using the manual shift on the shifter. Yeah, that BB tune will do that to ya.

16 is pretty impressive and that's the 6.2 engine city driving? If so that's awesome. I don't use the manual shifter at all. I can't stand the column placement. I had a Lexus IS and used the manual shifter all the time, but that was on the floor and much easier to shift. I had a BB tune on my distant list of mods I think it may have just moved to the short list :)

Yea the Rosen I believe is roughly 1/2 the Advent price. I had the Rosen at the top of my list when I first started shopping around but I can assure you they aren't even close to the same check the Comparison. That said I still think the Rosen is a great HU for the price and would take it over the factory NAV any day of the week.

It actually is great and has alot of features they don't mention like bluetooth music etc installed mine simple install no modifications required at all and I don't think the advent has any businuess being more expensive then a aftermarket headunit like kenwood or alpine

My escalade gets 11.8 , my Suburban gets 17.2 , the Yukon Xl 15.6 but me and the wife don't drive a particular one I have learned when it comes to the 6.2 it ain't gonna get any better just drive easier. That nav unit is awesome and I thought my gm lockpic thingy was cool.

That 16 is all around. I just cleared it yesterday as I have a 70 mile drive to work and back mostly all highway, but Dallas traffic, so it is stop and go. Got home with 15.8.

I saw gas for $5.89/gallon today. I wanted to take a pic but my phone was almost dead. It's in one of the highest volume tourist areas in the world and I've read they are always very high. To answer the last question, I'm usually around 200 miles at fill up but I fill up when i have a quarter tank left.

Wow I filled up the caddy with ethanol free gas and range was 589 miles, most gas stations here are 10% ethanol so the norm for me in the 6.2 is 380-400, 5.3 on 10% ethanol is about 450+ avg on fill up and I tired this by filling up when both cars no longer registered a miles to E (which happened after 40 miles to E)

My Denali gets around 11 - 11.5mpg with the mods in my signature. That is 90% city driving with short (2-4 mile) trips.

When I take it on long trips with 90% highway, I can get 18mpg, but that is only a few times a year.

The mpg stinks, but since I only live 2.5 miles from work, a tank of gas lasts me 3-4 weeks.
