What kind of MPGs are you getting?

[Darcane]

Hrm, we're getting significantly better highway mileage than most of you.

Wife's commute is very short with lots of lights, so only about 14-15mpg around town. But, we've taken it on a few long trips already and gotten 23-25mpg. As reported on the DIC and confirmed by actual pump/odometer readings.

2005 Tahoe ~80k miles
4.8L/2WD
20" Silverado LTZ Wheels 275/55R20 tires (Stock is 265/70R17, so nearly identical overall height)
GU5 axle code (3.23 gears)
Lowered 2/3

Not enough highway driving to register a tank of gas. 14 daily driving... cityish.

2002 Yukon slt 5.3l 13 city 18 hwy. Been averaging 16 mpg mixed for the last year. Recently I decided to run 38 psi instead of 35 and changed my driving habits - instead of high 70s on the hwy I'm setting the cruise to low 70s. Just have one tankful but averaging a bit over 17 now. Hardest part is ignoring the cars zipping past at 80 and the occassional stare - f 'em.

Ive got 4:10's and 285/75/16 Mickey T's plus my daily commute requires me to drive thru the dfw connector project 6 days a week (which if your not familiar its more than a billion dollar expansion project in dfw)
