2004 TrailBlazer. Computer says 18.5 MPG average. Not so bad for a mid-size SUV. If I took the 700 odd plugs, 2 pair of waders, jackets, 120 qt cooler and assorted other junk out I probably would get 20. I carry too much junk with me.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Believe it or not, I just got over 22 mpg on my trip home from the Cape on Sunday with my 2002---and that included some local running around yesterday before I gassed up
Normally, I do 20, maybe 21 on a trip, 19-20 on "NY style" highway, and 17 or so with a mix of driving. Maybe 16 with 15-20 miles of the beach thrown in.
4 liter straight 6 with automatic O/D.

04 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Quad Cab LWB with 6spd Cummins, 35" tires, 4" lift, exhaust, AFE intake, blah, blah, blah
My average since new over 41,308 miles is 17.36 mpg (I keep a spreadsheet)  . This average includes everything from traffic, some heavy towing, city, highway, warm ups, etc. However, on open highway running 75mph I get 21+ mpg. Stopping and starting a 8k lb truck around town REALLY kills my overall mileage.
EDIT: As a side note, check out what the IRS is doing for Diesel owners. You'd think to be fair they would do the same for gasoline running vehicles but nooo!

1996 Lincoln Towncar 4.6 w/66k average 19.1- 23.0mpg. It does a fine job, if I keep my foot out of it.
