I am getting about 16.5 MPG with mostly hwy miles. I have heard people talk about getting 20 MPG. What is normal?

| I'm new here. Hi i'm Gregg. Last week I purchased an 03 Yukon XL. The truck would not start after a two hour trip. I jumped it and ran it next morning dead again. Sounds like a dead battery right? Well all this week it starts up no problem. tonight I went to the grocery store went in for ten minutes while the family stayed out with the radio on(truck was off) and the head lights on . When I went to start it the truck was dead. I needed a jump start. I came home just try to start it with no problems. Does this sound like an electrical problem???I thought when cranking batteries died. That was it. | |

I have a bad oil leak that appears to be coming from directly above the oil filter, (it's not the filter) on the block somewhere. The entire bottom side of the vehicle and rear glass is covered with an oil mist. Anyone else encounter this problem? I have 45K on it. I lost about a quart during a recent 700 mile trip.

Replying to: gpierce2 (Aug 16, 2008 6:57 pm) So, short story long, it seems to me that a dead/jumped battery can be recharged and behave well for a while and then start to stutter again after a while. If you have the original battery still, I'd go ahead and get a new one. Someone smarter than me can recommend a good brand, I ended up with whatever they happen to have at NTB because I wasn't in a position to go bargain shopping with a trailer attached and three kids in the car and a road trip set to begin the next morning.

Anybody know what color the transfer case fluid is? I have a lot of greenish fluid all over the bottom of my Tahoe.

Normal seriously depends on your driving style. My first summer, I averaged, 13MPG and now, 2 summers later, I'm at about 15MPG. A majority of street driving. My advice, use cruise control as much as possible. When approaching lights, let the momentum of the truck carry you as far as possible. Start up, nice and easy. Finally, cut 5mph off of your average speed. I have a lot of up and down driving where I am at, but if I am on the highway using cruise control I can get around 19 to 20mpg. But since my daily commute is heavy street driving I usually don't get that. Also, look up Hypermiling. Practice the safe techniques of hypermiling and you will see a big difference. |
