Re: Tire wear
13 MPG is all I ever got in my Avalanche Z71 with the autotrack option. And this with Auto track dis-engaged.

Re: Tire wear
Boy, you guys' avatars back to back are trippy!
I have been resetting my "average MPG" and "fuel used" each time I fill up with gas, and so far it is right on the money with manual calculations; i.e. miles driven divided by fuel pumped. If I don't reset it, it starts to differ from manual calculations.
So, now I just reset at each fuel and go with what it says. So far with mixed county road driving and town, it is getting 11-13. We made a trip across WA state towing a trailer and it got 13. The trailer was about 1800-2000 pounds, and speeds were 55-65. We were on state roads not freeway.

Re: Tire wear
I have a whipple SC that has a voltage booster on the fuel pump. I am going to check a tank against the trip meter and see if it is the same as the avg.

Re: Tire wear
Your H2 being out of alignment does wear tires out prematurely, but it also causes drag. Less friction better MPG, it might not be noticable though, .1 or .2 of a mile

Re: Tire wear
Yeah, after a few miles the computer says we are getting about 10.5. I do not think that is too bad considering I have a Whipple SC on it.
