Trip Mileage Much Higher Than Odometer Mileage

[bret04yuk]

I'm surprised someone would own a car for almost 10 years and drive 126k miles without using the trip odometer

2012 Yukon Denali XL
2011 Yukon Denali RIP 5/20/18

I bought a new to me 2004 Yukon back in 2009 and it had about 90,000 on it and both trips matched the odometer exactly. They never reset any of them! after that I never reset trip A for nostalgia sake.

7,400 miles +-200 miles

Not a bad guess - the truck has 6196 miles on it. To be fair lets do the math guess 7400 - 200 leeway = 7200 - actual mileage = 6196 16%
OP post those pics right away we have a new mileage check resource here hahahahaha

Hours count only in park and neutral

Not on these rigs. I'm at ~2k and 40 hours on this OCI. I watch the thing tick up on the freeway, both on the timer and engine hours counter

I added some for salt damage that counts as excessive wear and tear..

on the hybrid hours don't count when running off the electric battery..
my has 1200 ish hours @ 84100 miles

I was driving for a 1-1/2 hours in traffic it only counted 0.8 hours I was about 15-20mph most of the time tell i got closer to home...


I figure I get better mpg in traffic since I can run off the battery more

I had just assumed that the hour counter was counting up if the system was running whether it be EV / ICE or a combo of both? Shoot my 2366.8 run time hours at 201639 miles might be correct and it has run well over 2000 hours in EV mode????
I really do not think that is possible though, as it only seems to run in EV or Combo mode a small percentage of the time even with the new hybrid battery that I just installed.

I was on the freeway very slow traffic it was mostly in EV mode I did not even have to brake very much because of the regen..
Average MPG 21.52MPG over the lifetime

I did a test and it is correct that the engine hour meter does not run when engine is in autostop I ran it for over 1 hour and it counted up about 1/2 an hour. The engine was in autostp when parked and in EV mode approx 1/2 the time. It does seem to count up anytime the engine is running it just stops when the engine shuts down. I will never get over 18 mpg average unless I go back the the factory wheels and LRR tires plus unload my 400 to 500 lbs of tools that I tote around with me all the time. Currently averaging 17.3mpg over the 6k miles that i have had it. Wheels and tires look cool though LOL.

Sorry to say. Your brother has been had. When i get gauges reprogrammed, the programmers never delete the trip mileage. If the year is mileage exempt then there is nothing you can do
