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.
