2007 Tahoe MPG!!!!
 

Well i have had my 2007 tahoe ltz for about 3 weeks, and have about 2400 miles on it, and to be completly honest i am gettin tired of wait for the gas mileage to increase. The other morning on the way to work i turned 14 on the lie-o-meter. I have talked to a few other people who say they are gettin around the same...anyone gettin any better out of a 4wd.

I'm feeling your pain. I bought my '07 LTZ on July 1 and I've managed to get all of 12.9 MPG. I've even been babying it to see if I can squeeze any more miles out of my $70 tanks of gas - no luck. I even had the cruise control on going down the freeway and not only did I not get over 16 MPG, but it never dropped from V8 to V4. Long way from the 21 MPG highway that GM has been bragging about. The '97 F150 I traded in got better mileage than this.

We're getting about 16.4 and we drive about 70% city and 30% highway. Remember, the mileage statements from GM are EPA estimate and not actual . Actual is always less depending on location, load in the vehicle, driving conditions, altitude and temperature.

Wanna hear the funny part? My 2006 Z06 (7.0L LS7 427 cu-in motor) gets 17.2 and I've been having a LOT of fun with it. If I drove that thing like a baby and mostly on the highway in 6th gear, I'd have no problem squeezing 22 mpg out of. The instant "lie-o-meter" says 39 mpg when I'm in 6th gear doing 65 just purring along at 1,200 rpm's

I'm getting 11.9 in my ltz 4.4, the dealer said to try mid-grade gas, the truck runs a little smoother, but now i'm getting 10.9 mpg. i drive with a pretty good lead foot, mostly highway driving at 80 to 85 mph - i know that doesn't help, but i did the baby thing, slow starts, speed limit, and cruise control for approx 50 miles, i got 15.9, i don't think i can get any better than that. The 03 lightning i traded in got about 11 mpg no matter how i drove, and it took 91 octane, so all in all i'm getting about the same milage with a significantly less fuel cost.

I've ordered an exhaust and am looking at cold air intakes, i'll report on any improvements.

I suppose this is the bad news i was expecting.....well i guess i will have to start doin performance mods...i mean if it is goin to drink it down i want a little better(well alot better) acceleration. If anyone know the best mods let me know....thanks
