Re: 14.5 MPG's!!!
I managed 16.2 (on the dash) for 60 miles on the highway. Going EXACTLY 60 without hitting any slow downs.
30 miles of city later it was 10.8.
It's possible to get good numbers, just not for any length of time in the city. (Or driving like you're under the age of 70).

Re: 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"  |

Re: 14.5 MPG's!!!
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...
