I'm trying to get a better idea on the mpg this car gets, i dont exactly trust the salesmen so i'd rather get my info from Taho owners. If you guys wouldnt mind could you post the year/model type/ average mpg please? i really would like to know this info before purchasing

1st of all this is not a car...it is a truck and gets truck gas mileage so be ready.

this is what we average - yours could vary but if you drive easy I would think you could fall into this range
all city - 14.5 - 16.0
mixed - 16.0 - 18.0
all highway - 19.0 - 20.5

My 2007 5.3 4wd gets 12.9. All the time. I do mostly city driving. If I go on a long trip the 12.9 on DIC goes up a little bit. If I reset the DIC before a highway trip I get around 16.
