What mpgs are you getting V? I logged mine this week and it showed 17.8 mpg city/hwy mixed...
Moze, if I am getting damn near 18 mpgs in an ECSB with a 5.3L with a decent amount of mods and a tune that is out of whack, you should be getting close to 15 in a LQ9 RCSB...

I'm doing very basic math...maybe I'm off (boy wouldn't I feel like a tool)...
I believe it's a 20 gallon tank, and I get around 200 miles per tank.
you cant do it like that...fill up reset the trip drive it around then fill it back up...then you take whats on the trip...say 232 and it took 18 gallons to fill it then your gas mileage would be 12.88mpg...the only way you can do this is start with a full tank and end with a full tankOriginally Posted by DamnYankee

Yeah...just figured I was relatively close and it still seemed way lower than it should be - even with the margin of error.
man that thing is a gas hog... a lot has to do with how you drive it as well... but still i would think that you can get more than 200 miles to a tank...

I wonder if the tune goes into power enrichment mode too early. Now is that city driving or mixed city/highway or straight hwy?

Mixed...just my normal weekly useage...HOV lane to work, around town to get to the HOV...a few WOT runs here and there.
