Miles per tank

[Walkercraig01]

how many miles per tank do yall avg on a roadtrip im going to ohio to pick up my old yukon and trying to calculate gas money on way back

My 05 Tahoe with a tuned 5.3 and 4:10 gears does 18mpg highway at best in Colorado. My 09 6.2 and 3:42 gear Tahoe does 20mpg - 22 mpg highway at best in Colorado.

Figure 15 miles per gallon and 22 gallons of usable fuel. That's a range of 330 miles.

We can get a little more specific if we know what you're driving and how its configured.

2004 Yukon slt stock has 5.3 in It I think on the highway it does pretty well I just don't remember

Also depends if you drive the speed limit, or hammer down. Somewhere between 350 and 430 is reasonable for your ride.

my 2012 denali xl 6.2l awd gets about 13.5-13.9 so around 350 miles a tank. if I baby it it might go a little farther, sometimes it depends on how you drive my average hwy speed is about 85

I got just shy of 500 miles on my last tank in my 2011 Avalanche. 15-16 mpg and a 31 gallon tank

 

[Walkercraig01]

itll just be speed limit driving 70 mostly and part of ohio is 60 for about 70 miles im thinking around 400 ish ill put a bottle of lucas in just because my mom has had it and I don't think she even knows what that is lol

 

[Walkercraig01]

ill baby It, im currently injured from work so I need it eventually ill do the mit intake and muffler swap but its stock for now and it had street tires on it.

 

[Doubeleive]

I would say 350 a tank is a safe bet that seems to be the average unless you have that monster 31 gallon tank, lol mines only 26

 

[Walkercraig01]

i hope its more than that obv but I guess when the time comes ill find out lol

I am also in the 350 neighborhood. 2006 5.3. That's using about 22 of the 26 gallon tank. I can get upwards of 380 if it's all highway on those same 22 gallons.

 

[Walkercraig01]

that's not bad , im one of those on a roadtrip where if I stop I fill up and having a 1 and a half year old there will be somw stops ive changed one fuel pump I don't want to go thru that again.

Nothing really noticeable imo, but it sounds good! I also have not tuned to take advantage of the higher flow yet. I do think it gives blackbear a little more to work with.

It is painful to fill up

Eh it's not so bad a lot of my driving is usually work related so it pays for it's self, the kids school is down the street and walmart is also down the street.

 

[Walkercraig01]

I had a 08 impala ss that was painful to fill up 93 octane here is high

 

[Rocket Man]

I'd be the wrong one to ask lol.

When yours was new they were rated at 15 city and 20 highway. Now fueleconomy.gov rates them for 13 city and 17 highway. So taking the lower number, that's 374 miles after burning 22 gallons.
