Default Gas Mileage

Just curious to see how many miles everybody gets to a tank. My 2000 4x4 with 66k got 310 last time I filled it up, but that was with using the 4 wheel drive some so I could do a little better I think.


Also is there anything you can actually do to help get a little better gas mileage?? Such as getting a k&n intake or using a tornado. Ive heard mixed reviews for both.

k&n is awsome my 97 has one. I dont know how many miles I get because my gas gauge doesn't work, I fill up every 200 miles with about 15-16 gallons. 15 or so mpg.

I fill up anywhere between 1/2 tank and 1/4 tank and I generally get around 200-250 miles before I fill up. Average mileage on the trip computer is reading 15.3mpg right now. That's over the last 4000 miles and I know that my Oxygen sensors are getting lazy. I'll be ordering new ones from GMPartsDirect.com in a bit. Good working O2 sensors should pick up the mileage for me.
