Washing it also makes it accelerate faster :deal:

00 NBS LS Tahoe, 19xk; I'm getting 15.6 city per last fillup. I haven't done a road trip since the Tune and fans, but without both I got 18 hwy cruising 80. I seem to get better gas mileage if I cruise above 70, maybe its the 3.42 gearing.

How do I figure out what gearing I have?

02 Tahoe LS /4x4/ 134k+/ w/285/70/17 stock suspension = 13/14 City, and 17 hwy. Towed a bay boat down to Galveston yesterday & got bout 10 miles at 65 mph. South wind did not help much either. I'm considering a CAI /tune/muffler swap...but maybe not after seeing some of the results posted here. Still may do it anyway...high and LOUD is my goal!!!
