With the stock 5.3 and stock wheels, 3.73 gears, I was getting about 14-15mpg around city iirc.

13ish combined city/highway, no matter how i drive. but i just realized that I always have my defroster on which keeps my a/c on all the time. I hope it will go up when i change some stuff around.

I was wondering about the AC Compressor. I know its posible to unplug the AC Compressor but will it set a check engine light or something?

I get 14.9 consistantly with my Hoe. I have seen an occasional 16-16.5 out of it thou

I avg around 13.5-14.5 city/hwy. Hope to change that slightly with a TB cleaning, MAF cleaning, and a high performance drop in air filter. Waiting for the next BB tune either in Texas or close to texas in driving range. Will get a AEM CAI and then get Justin to tune her for me.

Me beinig a newbie you should probably take this with a grain of salt. Not knowing what mods you've done, i would think getting it tuned up, and then a BB tune would help. The 22's possibly affecting some of your MPG as well. IMO!

I unplug mine in the winter and my dad does his too this is my first winter doing it and his 5th both are nbs trucks my yukon and he has a sierra and neither of us get any lights when we unplug the compressor he says it is a good idea since you wont use the ac in the colder months anyways keeps it from being kicked on all the time when its unnecessary.
