Just for comp, our 15 suburban when stock I would do about 24mpg on highway at 70mph
Seems "surprising" that in 22, GM didn't put a more of an emphasis on improving mpg.
Now I understand these are pretty much the largest family rig one can buy. and they should be taken for what they are.
We have a plug in hybrid that pretty much pays for itself compared to dumping 150$ a week in the tank of BELOVED 15 Burban

13/18 on Premium. I saw a test @13.5 mpg in 50/50 driving. In other words, it sucks. Big time.
What engine??

Is it a diesel? Otherwise the DIC is lying to you. No way you are getting 50% better mileage than anyone else on here.

Its just the best of a 50 mile average…which really means nothing. If you are cruising slow and easy down the highway on flat ground or a slight downward slop with a tailwind for 50 miles you can certainly get up there with the gassers…but sure as hell wont average that for a tank full.
Like i say, the 50 mile best average number is neat to look at, but it dosnt amount to much of anything.

We are currently on a short family trip and I did the driving today. The most non aggressive, slow accelerating, fuel sipping, no more than 5 mph over the speed limit driving that is possible. Wife annoyed with the slow rate of travel kind of driving. Mostly 50 mph two lanes but a touch of 70 on the freeway, almost all flat ground with very few hills. After 140 miles the dash readout says 19.2 mpg and I feel it would be pretty difficult to squeak much more out of a 5.3 than that.
Thanks for sharing
i get upper 20s in my 5.3 at times (50mi average). But you are correct, it is (mostly) meaningless. When I am getting that, it is typically a 50mi stretch that is all "downhill" (descending from the Oregon high desert towards the Columbia River.
