Driving habits play a huge part in the MpG department. Small changes can yield 2mpg a tank eliminating bad habbits

It almost never goes above 2100-2200 RMPs when I drive my fully modded 2001 Tahoe with 4.10 rear gears, a 4L80 trans fully built and a 2800-3200 stall converter , and a built 6.0L with heads and cam gets better MPG and I only have a 20 gallon tank and have to run premium pump gas. I don't get it. My RMPs in my Tahoe are like 1550 RPMs at 30 MPH. And my 2001 Tahoe does better then my wife's. he'll my buddies 2009 ford F-150 4X4 with a lift and 20's with 37X13.50R20's and stock gears gets 14-16 in town WTF!

I have a 2001 Suburban LT. I use the fuel log app for android to track my mileage, etc. My last tank I average 13.34 miles to the gallon. I got that number by driving like an old man. The tank before I averaged 10.96 miles to the gallon. I have a 30 gallon tank

I'm starting to think that your wife is a closet "lead foot", drives like Miss Daisy when with you and like Tony Stewart when feeling her freedom!! hahahaha

4.1 gears going that fast on the freeway might contribute to bad mpg.




No bubba my Tahoe has 4.10 gears and all the mods a 6.0 bored and stroked and a 4L80E transmission, and I get better fuel Econmy then the wife's stock Tahoe!


And yes she drives fast we both do but neither of us Jack Rabbit start in her Tahoe. Mine is a different story we like to mess with people in mine.
