08 GMC Hybrid MPG Question...16 MPG

Re: 08 GMC Hybrid MPG Question...16 MPG
The real "learning tool" in driving these hybrids besides the Econo Guage is to switch the DIC from AVG MPG to INSTANTANEOUS MPG.
You, of course will get so-so MPG in city driving and won't notice much change in AVG MPG. However if you are on a long trip and put it in cruise at 65, it will go into V4 Hybrid Mode, then reset the AVG MPG and you can see 22-24 MPG.
If purchasing used I would strongly advise getting a 2011 or later. Reason: They changed the electrical architecture to allow add on aftermarket accessories like fog lights etc.
BTW I have 80,000 miles on mine and it still has the OEM brake pads with only 5% wear on them.....pretty phenominal....all the braking is done regeneratively by the electric motors if you do not slam on the brakes very often.

Re: 08 GMC Hybrid MPG Question...13-14 MpG
I just got this 2009 Yukon (22500miles) an when I drove it out of the lot it was reading 19.1, but now that I'm now driving, I've getting 12-14 mpg.
I'm trying to help, I added 2 new front tires, the front end was out of aliment and made the original tire wore incorrectly.
Also added an airaid filter system.
And I took off the stupid crappy plastic lower aid dam (this I'm concerned about)
Thanks, Ed B.
