Mine sorta sucks. You guys doing any better? My driving is about 60% highway. This is the last 450 miles in yellow and my best 450 mile span appears in green.
Your numbers are about .5 MPG better than what I get from my 2007 5.3L port injection motor. My ratios are about the same as you highway to city, but I drive like a very old man, 95% of the time.
Last I checked I'm averaging just under 17mpg in my 5.3 tahoe with about 75% city driving. I stomp it occasionally but typically go easy on the throttle.
I'm pretty solidly 17-19mpg. For the most part I put 24.x gallons in and can expect ~450mi out of that. I drive a fair amount of secondary roads, but I also see 4-hi once or twice a week lately it seems. Not alot of urban stop and go. Last 2 fillups have been more towards 17 but I've used remote start a couple times to help de-ice and have sat on a couple job sites here and there recently.
I have a 19.6 lifetime average but that includes a SC-FL-SC all interstate trip which helps carry some extra weight when you only have 4k on the vehicle.
Just to give you some perspective, my crew cab 2019 with 5.3l / 8sp 4x4 trail boss is only getting mid 15s average. I have a heavy foot and drive only about 25% highway but my weight is around 500lbs lighter give or take. If you are close or slightly better I think you are right in line.
My best highway trip mpg, Dallas to Houston driving 75mph, I was in the high 19s babying it. Just food for thought.
From the OnStar App:
2018 Yukon lifetime average for 30,000 miles 18.7 MPG [5.3 Engine, 6spd]
2018 Sierra lifetime average for 27,000 miles 17.8 mpg [6.2 Engine, 8spd] with 5000 miles of heavy Uhaul towing!

mine is very similar. I drove mostly suburban stop and go but did have a 900+ mile disney trip in there and a 360 mile thanksgiving trip all highway as well. 5000 miles total so far.
I remote start almost every morning right now which definitely hurts.
