Re: Fuel Economy

'06 GMC 2wd swb - 4.8, 5-speed manual, 3.23 locking rear.
I got 18.2-3 my first tank of gas. Mixed about 60/40 freeway/city.
Second tank I got about 18.5 all freeway (70-75mph) but had a bike rack in the reciever with three bikes and a bed full of bags/luggage for a 4 day trip.
I am just getting down to the end of my third tank of gas but haven't been paying attention to what it was when I filled it. I know I filled it up a week ago Tuesday or Wedsnday so I am pretty happy about that!

I put a set of 17" Denali rims on today. I swear the rims and tires are lighter than just the bare 17" steel rims it came with. Hopefully that will make a .0005 mpg difference...
