I think the OP's biggest issue is that he is mostly city driving. Seems like like 01 4X4 gets really bad mileage when I do mostly city. I wont even get 300 miles out of a tank. Seems like most of the higher numbers here do more mixed driving then the op does.

Man, i'm getting under 10 mpg at the moment. only 250 miles a tank. im all city driving as well in my 01 kon 2wd. Just put in a new fuel filter, spectre CAI and changed plugs and wires(MSD Ignition) this weekend, hoping for any gain. How am I so far off from u guys? I would be stoked for 12.5 MPG!!

City/Street driving makes a big difference. Stop and go, stop and go. City driving, my mileage is bad.. Probably like 10-12 mpg.

I'm OK with it I was expecting a miracle espically the conditions I drive in what's just confustin to me is I can beat on it a whole tank or drive it like an old lady mileage doesn't change at all

Quit fooling yourself guys.
We all know that when we bought these trucks that they're "GAS GUZZLER". No matter how you tune it..changes this and that, these truck will suck you dry.
Whining and bitching ain't gonna solve jack, unless you trade it in for some cheap 2 door Hyundai.

The 02 Yukon was originally rated at 14 mpg city, but when they changed the way the mileage is figured it went to 12 mpg city. I would say you're doing about right. Yes it does suck, but I bought mine for comfort and use, not mileage.
Here is a link to fid the gov. mileage ratings.

We have 02 yukon 5.3 4x4 with 125k miles. Around town, get 14-15, highway AND city driving. In city only, and running ac, yes, 12 is about it. I'm surprised about you getting 12 if you crank it, since mine drops to around to 10-11 if I'm rushing around alot in the middle of the duty day. Have stock tires, stock everything except K&N. K&N didn't help mileage, but does help perceived acceleration.
