Default LTZ MPG

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm getting 16 mpg with my 24's... I was getting 18 mpg with the stock 20's.

I'm not driving the hoe much. I just drive our old beater car to work... There is a bit too much envy at work.
Plus the beater car fills up on $25, can drive crazy in it and I'm conserving my hoe's mileage.. oh, plus the weather sucks and dirty roads get my hoe dirty.

I'm expecting to drive the hoe much more this summer. Long hot Arizona days, clean clear weather. Plus my hoe shined up!
Right now the hoe rolls out when we go out for dinner or go shopping.

I do drive it to work atleast once a week. Drove it today.

I'm averaging 13.8 mpg. I drive about 50% hwy. and 50% city. A/C is almost always on, that seems to really make a difference. I don't even get 18 mpg on the highway, don't see how some people are getting so much better mileage than I am. I have a 4WD LTZ.

I reset my DIC every time I fill up and continue to get around 17-18 MPG driving 90% highway. I've got just over 9,000 miles on the 'Hoe so far.

Guess I should have mentioned 4:10 gears + 4x4.

I also drive with a light foot and try to be conservative on accelleration.

I think the A/C does burn a lot of fuel.

I did notice when I drove with a heavy foot the fuel guage was dropping pretty quick.

Probably 60% highway ... 40% city.
