Thereare often questions regarding the Tahoe's actual fuel mileage vs.claimedsticker mileage. There alsoquestions regarding E85 mileage in comparison to regular . As most probablyknow, the EPA is changing the mileage ratings for all vehicles.If you haven't alreadydone so, you can search and compare old and New EPA MPG estimates for the Tahoe or any other vehicleat the site linkbelow. The hybrids take the biggest MPG loss with the new ratings.[/align][/align][/align] Click hereforMPG Estimates Site[/align][/align][/align][/align]

 

Thanks for the link. I am hoping once my engine breaks in that I will get the 14 mpg that the new epa figures estimates for us.

 

I get about 16.3 mixed now. Seems about fair.

Yup, I dit my first oil change. Went with mobil 1 and I droped a K&N in. Im now at 14.5 average. Alot better than the 11.8 I was getting before.

 

so what the hell is the point of e85? i don't get it i thought i provided better gas mileage or i thought is was at least cheaper but nope. so what is the point of flex fuel?

 

Why it makes you feel better. Even tho it costs more both because the gov't subsidizes it and because you get worse mileage. And even tho the jury is still out, it's about a 50-50 proposition on whether or not it takes more energy to produce than you get back.

 

Or as my salesman at the dealership said about the E85....."Who's country would you rather support?"
