Over how many miles?? Mine has dropped from ~21 to ~17 mpg. Partially due to colder temperatures and idling warm ups, and partially to me driving more agressively.

16.7mpg on the last fill up.

Are you serious or are you kidding me? If you are serious and you wanna save some gas, then drive with VDC ON normally. Its slower but more fuel efficient.

16 mpg is the worst ive gotten... all city driving... and WOT red lights til I get to 60mph... we have road/highways that have redlights but the speedlimit is 55mph... and its 1/8 to 1/4 mile between them.... it takes all my control to release the pedal at ~60mph when there is a wide open straight away in front of me

We get super high gas for 3 years and drive conservatively to save, now that gas is "cheap" again, we drive stupid and help jack up the price?

Anyways, this last tank is getting me just shy of 17 mpg. I'd like to be in the 20s instead, but eh. That's what you get for having such a powerful G.

I don't see why? 17 mpg is good considering a hummer gets about 7mpg.

I've been getting lower mileage during the colder months, moist weather. I noted a drop of approximately 2 mpg to around 18mpg in mixed city/hwy driving.

I drive in rush hour. every damn day real BS, I know if I had country roads and little stop and go, I could probably get 700km on a tank.

I get anywhere from 15 to 22 depending on highway versus city but I can try to make it worse. As for the fuel prices coming back around.....I doubt peoples driving habits had much to do about it.....it was more China exploding onto the world market and instant high useage of the global assets that threw things like petroleum and such reeling and trying to catch up, it seems to have leveled off more lately.....finally. UH-OH....smart talk....I think I'm getting light headed....better go flog the G or fondle some tools...

HO HO HO

Gotta keep the hos on lockdown supapimp!

But no, really I was impressed with the quality of your craftsmanship put into the wires, your supapimp reference is the least I can do, you obviously are a pimp.

But back to the OP, I think that having gas prices lower makes a huge difference in my budget, It was from 600+ a month, now down under $250, aslo partly due to the fact that I only drive the G when it's nice out.

I'm like this in the snow

Speaking of snow, had the G out today with 2/32 left on the rear tires after it snowed 8 inches

I was still passing other drivers, I didn't get it. People here just don't know how to drive in the snow.

I'd love to spend time in Gatlinburg with snow around. We spend at least a week in a cabin there once a year but it's during spring time for the most part. Going to Vegas instead next month.

Careful.....Vegas just had a "blizzard" for there. Flights cancelled due to no visibility, schools shut down for the day, the whole city just kinda shut itself down. All this comes from guys I work with and deliver to in Vegas that live there.
