What are you guys getting with 50/50 city and highway driving. Figure some of you that live in big cities would have a great idea, since there is a lot of interstate/bypass 4 laners and a lot of in town stop and go driving.

I'm getting 14.5 MPG right now with that type of driving, am I getting what others are getting?

Thanks Guys and Gals

Highway 16-19.5 depends on winter/summer blend and the way I am driving.

About 14 right now in my 03 yukon 5.3. My a/c compressor runs constantly (as does everyone elses)-so its tough to get much better.

Right now, with winter studs, autostart, and almost entirely city driving, about 13.5 in my 6.0 Denali.

Last summer it did a lot better, around 14.5 city and 17 hwy. Hopefully it'll kick back up to that again. Even managed 19mpg on a 600+ mile road trip.

Mileage, I've noticed, sucks at 55. Get it up to 65-70 and I pick up an extra 2-3mpg.

I am on a road trip now and cant get any better than 17mpg straight highway and our best mpg came at 74 mph. now granted we have a fully loaded truck with the 3rd row installed, 3 kids, hitch trailer and now found out a clogged cat, I dont think this was too bad.

Dash says 14.7. My wife drives the car short trips to the mall with occasional trips on the highway. Who has a tune?

right now im 50/50 to 60/40 - City/highway

I'm getting anywhere from 12.9 to 14.5 mpg in this situation. Just curious if my Hoe was in ballpark of everyone else. I was getting 8 to 9.5 when I got it, and it was throwing codes saying Bank 1 and 2 were lean. But I've cleaned my MAF and reseated the vacuum line to the FPR and all is back to where I am now with mpg's.

Thanks guys
