Very true. I went from $400-$500 a month for gas with a heavy foot (75-90MPH) commute to work to $200-$250 a month with softer foot (55-65MPH) and plenty of extra time.

Yep. I am slow off the line. And put around town no need to be in a rush and burn gas. I get there the same amount of time. I have found that around town these 5.3 get much better mpg in the below 2k area. And I keep up with trafic fine staying in that area. And I gained massive miles per tank. I can't remember totals as I have driven like this for a few years. But I tell myself this is not a corvette or a hot rod, it is a 6k# SUV not a race car.

How you get 91 octane.?

 

[Travieso]

California or Los angeles, dont offer 93 Octane the highest you could on the pump is 91... offcourse you could get 100 octane from VP stations

Need to drive with a softer foot. Keep is below 2,300 around town you will notice major improvements

Hard to keep the rpms low with the loose stall converter, barely moves me at around 2k. Currently only driving it on snow days so warming it up hurts the mpg a lot right now, but overall I am driving less then 100 miles a month right now. I believe I was getting around 11-12 mpg during the summer.

11-12 town is better than 9... Less than 10 I would cry. As a around town. Then Again I just put gas in mine when she is thirsty. And gas my area is among some of the cheapest in country which makes things great got gas for right at 2.99 other night.

Using the fuel log app on my android phone says that my last fill up (yesterday) I avg'd 12.26 mpg. That's all city driving here in Phila,PA. I would love to see even higher mpg. I try to keep my rpms around 2k. I don't race light to light.
