07 Chevy w/ Fuel Managment
I am only getting about 14 mpg city driving. Any idea's how to improve that. Cause I also have a 05 tahoe and it gets about the same. At 3.30 a gallon gas... It about kills me... So any ideas how to improve this... It is all stock...

RE: 07 Chevy w/ Fuel Managment
ok I got the 5.3 with 3.73 rear end. and it has about 7500 miles on it... It is 4wd I know that will hurt a little... but most of my trips are short lived I live 6 blocks from work. I probably average about 300 miles a week... I also have 18 inch tires and with a longer trip 130 mile round trip it went up to 14.5 mpg... LOL...

rstitt, I have about the same setup with similar milage, 2wd and 20" and get the same as you do.
I'm thinking that it might improve slightly with more miles, but have resigned myself to dealing with it. I didnt' expect much in the way of mpg in a truck going in, but wish that it got closer to advertised.

RE: 07 Chevy w/ Fuel Managment
I have the 6.0 with 3:73s and 17" 265 tires. Live inthe country with very little city driving, but, also very little freeway driving. Computer says 14.5 for 5500 miles. Most trips are at least 10 miles each way. Had a 2003 with the 5.3 and averaged about 15.2 for same type of driving. I think that is pretty good for a truck.
