| Last week I returned home from Charlotte, N.C., a distance of 457 miles. From the hotel parking lot in Charlotte to my driveway my average was 19.2 mpg. I am happy with this considering that my Yukon had only 4200 miles on it when I left the hotel and much of I-77 through Virginia and West Virginia is mountainous. I drove about 3 mph over the speed limits which put me at 68-73 mph. The AC was on 100% of the time and I used only 87 octane gas. My Yukon has the 5.3 engine and 3.73 gear ratio. Oh, I did have Amsoil synthetic, 5w-30 in the crankcase. | |

Replying to: hucktwain (Sep 26, 2006 6:45 pm) I just picked up my '07 Denali lastnight and I was browsing everyones feedback regarding MPG. I noticed mine said 9.6 the whole time i was driving it home. It also said I had used up 10 Gallons of gas. This has to be wrong because I just picked up the truck and it had a full tank. The gas gauge is on "F". Someone mentioned resetting their fuel economy. Is this what I need to do or is something wrong? How do you reset it? Thanks!

I got my 07 Yukon Denali about 3 weeks ago... We have taken it on our winter vacation as well as local to/from office. The following is my MPG report: 6.2 V-8 with original factory engine oil, cold tire pressure at 30 psi at each tire (or at 33-34 psi according to the gauge displayed when hot)--- Local (1 Full Tank, myself only) with Stop-N-Go traffic, at max 40 mph with AC On ~50% of the time => 13.6MPG Highway (1 Full Tank, myself and 4 passengers), at ~67 mph (Due to break-in period, speed vary between 60 mph to 75 mph) with AC On 100% of the time => 20.8MPG Averaged at 17.2 MPG. |

| Can anyone tell me the difference in gas mileage between the two? | |

| I have an 07 Yukon 4x4, about 15k miles, and I get 14 mpg doing 80% highway, and I am pretty heavy on the gas pedal so I think that is pretty good. It looks really good compared to the 12.7 mpg I get on that 210hp Commander V6. | |
