14.5 MPG's!!!

If you guys are going to talk mileage, it should only be (x) miles / (x) gallons. Looking at the instant mileage readout isn't a true indicator of total mileage, but it's a useful tool for finding the so called "sweet spot".

No, not THAT "sweet spot"

I look at the average MPG. and for me, well,,, thats good enough. See we all have to buy gas and everyone that buys a hummer or knows about hummer knows that hummer is not the best in gas so we accept it when we buy and accept it when we go to the pump. I am pleased to see that I AVERAGE 16 mpg and I dont have to prove it to nobody.

What KONG isn't telling you is, that he TOWED his Hummer cross-country and is using that in the calculations of his AVERAGE mpg....

I can believe 16 on the highway with a reprogramming... But AVERAGE city/highway at 16? Noway... Are you sure that your Hummer doesn't have a 3 next to the H instead of a 2????



I am about to reprogram, add the K&N aircharger and put headers and dual exhaust on, so we'll see how it effects my mpg... In my Tahoe it upped the mpg by 40% (from 10 mpg to 14mpg highway and yes, it was highly modified). I'm hoping for at least averaging 14 instead of 10.6 (as per the dash).

Also, I don't see how the average MPG is wrong on the dash.... It record miles driven and gallons used... It's pretty easy to figure at that point...
