I love my Tahoe LT3. Getting just over 17 MPG in mixed driving. My only complaint is storage. I know about the little compartment in back on the left side and the jack is hidden away under the cup holders in the back, but what about the right side. Has anyone taken off that flat piece where it looks like a cup holder should go and see if there is room for storage?

22 mpg highway sounds pretty good for one of these beasties.
if the gasser gets 22 mpg with cylinder-shutdown i wonder how much better a duramax with cylinder-shutdown would do? those are 6 cylinder engines though aren't they? running on 3/6 or 4/6 cylinders might not be so smooth :|

17?? That's really good. How long have you had it??? Did you start out with bad mileage and start getting better mileage over time?? Mine's new '07 and only avg 14.6 MPG. Chevy tells me the milage will get better at about 8-9000 miles. Did you ad any mods such as exauhst and cold air intake??

That's the thing. I've never had a problem getting close to epa or a good avg between with mixed city/hwy driving until this vehicle. They tell me I will start seeing a difference at about 8-9k miles. Who knows. Kinda frustrated at this point. I do baby it when I drive. My girlfriends is telling me I drive like a grandpa. Doesn't help with the frustration.

yeah. you can't go buy that. That's a result of milage it's gettting whe people are test driving. Also, there aren't enough miles on the truck at that point for it to be accurate. Then, on top of that, you have the sales team telling you it will get better.

Have you heard back from the "company rep" regarding the bypass? Also. does anyone have the contact info for this person at GM (or someone else) that can give me status?

No mods at all. I have 1500 miles on it. Had it for about 6 weeks. I put 250 miles on it on one trip that was a little over half highway and half back roads ant I got 18.4. I'm getting constant low 17's. I drive between 60 and 70, no quick starts. My RPM's hardly ever go above 2000. I would like to get 18 or so in mixed driving.

Just picked up my 07 LTZ yesterday, I bought it out of state and had a 100+ mile trip back home on 55 MPH state highways. I put another 115 miles on today mixed interstate and city driving. Happy to report 17.4, not bad for the first tank. I will report back after the I hit 1k. What’s everyone doing for Cat back exhaust mods? I am looking for a relatively quite free flowing system to help boost MPG. Sound is secondary. And last of all, has anyone installed a set of leveling spacers above the front springs, looking for feedback. Thanks George
