Drive my Yukon around for a week, fill it up w/ gas once its empty (38 gallons), and be happy you're getting 15 mpg.

I think it has to do with location. because i just cruise and take it as easy as possible and dont get above 20 no matter what i do. Then again where im located, Im at a slightly higher elevation than sea level and its very hilly. A mail order tune would probably help to because i think the car is running rich.
