Gas Mileage

[Matthew Jeschke]

Interesting points... It's a bit of stop and go but mostly highway. I would love to take for a pure highway drive, but it's got too many issues to fix at this point.

Partly my mileage is improving I believe due to me not accelerating as quickly. I don't drive it hard, but now I'm trying to accelerate at old lady pace and see what happens.

Additionally, I changed a bunch of fluids. I believe the tires are stock height but a bit wider. I can do GPS test though.

Another probably larger item I'm not taking into consideration is altitude. I live at around 2,500 ft. The Suburban was driven at much lower altitude when it got that mileage.

Acceleration is definitely where you burn it. I can easily gain a couple by old ladying it, too. The drivers door jamb will show stock tire size. You can use the calculator at www.tiresize.com to compare with what you've got on it.
