You have a K2 and get 12 MPG around town? Is that like New York City city driving or like Los Angeles or Fort Lauderdale city driving? What's your average speed on a tank of gas that delivers 12 mpg?

I have K1500 and it’s like New York City driving and average speed will be around 30-40 mph I believe

I have 2016 4x4 PPV and I think 12 mpg City is a bit too much? Should be around 15mpg?

It's supposed to get 16 MPG CITY and 18 Combined. Failing cats will usually first manifest themselves through reduced gas mileage before throwing codes. Start with the simple and less expensive checks and maintenance first though.

There is a guy on here who drives in downtown Miami traffic @Jorge1313 and his MPGs are often in the single digits. Gary @Miami-Dade drives in Miami and NYC with his Tahoe.

I bought it just a month ago and it’s my first Tahoe,
Went to dealer and did some maintenance.
I’m thinking to clean cat using lacquer thinner.
People say this method worked well for them

checked some websites where people report their real MPG's and average was between 15-16, just a few reports with 12-13 MPG's.
Ordered OBD scan tool with live data that able to monitor O2 sensors how they perform... will see :)
