Replying to: nosbor77 (May 27, 2007 1:41 pm) Before my first oil change I was getting no better than 13-14mpg... now I get a minimum of 15 during city driving and have had 19 mpg on good trips... At least its something...

Replying to: nosbor77 (May 27, 2007 1:41 pm) I noticed that also. I have 3.73 gears and it'll stay in V4 in tow mode up to about 60 mph. I did take a trip last weekend and got 17.5 going and 19.6 on return. First time ever over 17. Even saw V4 on level roads at 65. Have ~6500 mi. Mobil 1 gave me about 1 mpg when I switched.

Kinda cool!! ____________________________________________________________ When your vehicle is in the tow mode you have in effect lowered the gear ratio from 3.43 to probably somewhere near 4.0...(raising the number is actually lowering the gear ratio) These engines seem to want to stay in the v4 mode when the lower ratios are used and that helps to get better gas mileage.

Replying to: dad6 (May 12, 2007 7:41 am) thanks for your honesty. GM and Ford ought to Quit Now. Save us the drama. I won't even mention Chrysler. I am a union man for 30 years, but these assembly line workers we have CAN NOT DO THE JOB. No pride and no brains and no workmanship. Detroit is a wasteland! Just like Iraq. We have to admitt it and move on.

Replying to: 73shark (May 30, 2007 5:41 pm) I tried the tow mode thing, seems very interesting... only really makes a difference between like 30 and 50mph. My Tahoe was even in V4 on slight hills. However, I think it uses more gas during start up so where I live its not practical with all the lights and stops.

Replying to: greggboston (May 20, 2007 6:17 pm) Hi Gregg,   Thanks for the suggestion about the disk size. I recreated my disk following the specs in the Nav manual and the clock still left the display. Hopefully they will find a fix before the car is too old..   Gary

Does chevy make splash guards that fit 07 Tahoe with power retractable assist steps. If not who makes them that fit. Thanks
#2560 of 3122 Finally... My first tank of Ethanol by saratogalake Jun 04, 2007 (11:56 am)
Finally.. I got to try E-85 Ethanol... A local dealer here in up-state New York now has it in 2 stations.. One in Albany and the other in Lake George. The gas hose is colored in Yellow and has all these warnings about putting Ethanol in a regular gas vehicle.. The owner came running out when he saw me start to use the pump screaming it was not for use in a regular gasoline car.. I then pointed to the "Flexfuel" badge on the back hatch and he smiled.. The cost was $2.59 a gallon. Not bad as regular here is up to $3.39 a gallon. I put in about 16 gallons.. I then took a 200 mile trip.. I noticed my overall mileage was down a bit (17.5 vs 19.2 MPG) but the car ran great. So.. I'm gonna keep using it for a while. Any others out there use E-85 yet?? By the way, I now have 31,765 miles on my '07 which will be one year old on June 30th.
