After 58,000KM in 10 months mostly highway 35.6 MPG.

 

Ken: did that moose hit change the aero numbers? 35? wow. With the cold on the way you will most likely give up some.

That remote start is nice but it's hell on fuel economy. I'm seeing Volts on the roads around here. Must be company car guys. Supposed to be on sale in Michigan yet this year.

 

I am really happy with the Hybrid numbers, added a Transformer Camaro to the fleet, Volt next.

 

I am seeing 18-19 combined. I have a heavy foot, and don't try to squeeze every inch out of a gallon of gas. Loaded with people, pulling a loaded utility trailer, I saw 19.5 round trip from Billings to the coast and back.

 

Kasey,
Sounds like you are getting exactly expected performance from the Tahoe. Zero chance of getting those MPG numbers from a conventional Tahoe 4x4. My favorite parts are the better acceleration and the deadly silence at stoplights.

 

Driving city/highway with max speeds at 70 mph and getting about 17.3
Tried keeping the max at 65 and it increased to 18.8

 

It may be because of your new 20 inch rims you have on.

I just put on a new set of 22's last week, I don't really know what the MPG have dropped to quite just yet, But the MPG numbers on the dash seem lower now around town then what i'm use to seeing when I had the stock 18's on it.

About a month ago I drove it up to northern california on the stock 18's using shell 89 octane fuel and averaged 21 mpg, But on the way back using 89 chevron I averaged 24 mpg. It was just a little over 1000 mile drive round trip.

 

I forgot about that. I wish I could recalibrate the tire size. Seems to be off about 1-2 mph.

What were your speeds?

 

I had a good drive with no traffic at all really both ways, Mostly stayed between 76-78 MPH the whole way, Didn't go past 83 MPH when needing to pass another car/truck, ect.

I'm not sure yet if the speedometer is out of adjustment yet or not with the new 22's, I have not passed one of those radar speed signs yet to see if it's off or not, They are too new, Also my wife drives it most of the time to work, ect.

The tires are 285/45/22 Hankook ventus st rh06, And these tires get really good reviews, And I agree so far, they are nice looking and performing in all aspects mentioned by others.
