CustomCarputers Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Is that the factories estimated mileage? I kind of doubt a V8 Suburban gets 18 mpg, yeah...downhill with the wind behind it maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejcurrent Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) It's true. So many people hate full size suvs/trucks because of the 'fuel inefficency' but the truth is they're only 1mpg or so off from small/midsize. My brothers 5.3v6 blazer got 13-14mpg going down hwy 95, but with my old 2wd Yukon I got over 20mpg on the highway (520 miles off 25 gallons). I could get around 17 or more hauling a trailer, while the blazer dropped to 11ish. With the tahoe I have now it has 4wd and tow package which both hurt, and I haven't had it on a good trip to find out, but it gets about 15 in the city with stop and go and a heavy load in back. I don't see why its impossible. I gained 2-3mpg after switching to synthetic oil and a K&N filter too.

jack Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 with both the full size and the mid size trucks you have about the same weight and wind resistance. differace with a larger displacement engine is better torque to get that beast moving and less revs at highwat speed. that will give better mpg if left stock with stock tires. if it is 4x4 then there will be more rolling resistance on the drivetrain so that will make the mpg worse. also larger tirer etc. Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=29213 "sleeper build" (1) DC AUDIO Level4XL 10 (2) PowermasterD2700 batteries ALL FOR SALE TEAM DC AUDIO TEAM DIRTFLOORPOOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
