if you learn to drive smarter (coasting, early shiftpoiints... read: At a more constant and slower pace) you can improve your mileage a lot. you get mid 20's, I've never gotten less than 33 mpg, you can see if you click my signature what my tanks of gas have been like for the past 18 months. I average over 40mpg.
When you avg 40mph, you can go up to 425-4500miles between fillups (depending how dry you want to run the tank). 40mpg is not a hard point to reach, it just takes a change in driving style, and maybe a change in the route, or even the time that you drive. I've found that if I leave for work at 7:30 I get worse mileage than if I drive at 7:15 or 8:00. Reason being is that there is more congestion on my trip due to people trying to make it to work before 8am. Your yukon would have to have a 40gallon tank in order to get 450miles.... Something in me thinks it has closer to a 20-30 gallon tank. |

maybe it's a troll, dunno, only read his first 2 posts.... but he isn't comparing FE.. he is comparing distance traveled per tank.... HUGE difference.

No troll. Just been up two days and I'm out of it.
It matters not at this point. I hit an 8 point buck going 60 (in a 60mph for those that think me heavy footed) and it's going to take me a while to put the front end of my truck back together. I was actually lucky that it wasn't my yaris, as I was on lunch break from work (I live about 5 miles from work) and decided to switch to the yukon because......drumroll please.......the yaris was out of gas. |

I saw a State Trooper hit a 8 point this weekend. I'm glad to know that the deer aren't biased.

eh you can't really eat a deer that's been hit like that. The parts that got hit get real tough and spoil from the blood that pools in the muscle, and this deer got hit every where. It actually snapped one of his tines out of his head, taking a chunk of skull with it.
Oh, and I'm ambidextrous. |

I would like a larger gas tank too.
But it's tanks but no tanks. Welcome to the forum! |
