Gas mileage

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Since I moved into the city, I'm getting a solid 13 mpg. BUt, I have a 2.6 mile drive to work. When I was driving 30+ miles to work, I was getting 15-17 mpg, but that was at 55-60 mph almost the whole way.

Well, mixed driving 4 door, 4X4, 3.73, using remote start, with AC on full blast the whole time.......15.0 mpg.

You are calculating this by hand right? If so that is damn good. Oh you did say mix driving. Never mind.

I can get 13.5 mpg, roughly aroung 415 miles to the tank if i baby it. City driving/off roading i can get about 11mpg. My truck just hit 190,000 miles.

I wish I got 15 or 16 mpg, If I'm lucky I might get 13 but usually its 11.5 to 12.5. Even on a trip I get about 13. 2 door, 4x4, 3.73 gears, ac on and 33 inch tires.

Switched from 87 octane to 93 octane, about a $.20 difference per gallon around here ($3.80 - $4.00). Went from a steady 13-13.5 mpg to 15.5-16.0 (average, city and highway). NO BB tune, NO CAI, haven't changed anything, just switched grades.

And that's running nearly bald 285/75/16's on the stock gears, with a totally f-ed up alignment, and carrying anywhere from 100-500lbs of extra weight (tools and supplies) almost every mile I drive.

I'm averaging around 10 mpg in mostly local driving, and 35" tires

Only had the Denali since Fri.-averaged 18.2-19.0 according the DIC back and forth from upnorth and 16.1 cruising around town locally...works for me

I've had my 4-door 1996 Tahoe for about 3 months now, 285's, 3.73 gears, and I can get 20 on the highway and about 13-15 in town. However I drive pretty tame, I usually try to keep the speed just over 60 on the highway (I think it's the sweet spot for mileage) and I try to keep my foot out of it as much as possible.
