I don't know what the 08's are getting, but it should get better than that. Give it a little time.

I'm getting about 10.5 now around town and with my foot in it quite a bit. Mine's an 07 SUT though. Itwill probablybreak in after a few thousand miles. I bought mine on Friday. It has about 11,500 miles on it. I hate to get out of it. Keep us posted on the mpg. I'd be intereseted to know.

Talk to you later

No idea. Had an 02 H2 and averaged 10.4 mpg with a lot of city driving over 50K miles. 7.7 hopefully means you have a lead foot. Stock tires? Actual mileage vs computer?

I get average 13.3 all day every day based on the computer, not actual. I drive about 100+miles per day about an equal combination of city and highway. I don't put my foot in it all the time though, only when I need too. I have about 47k on my 05 SUT, so I am more than happy with the 13.3, never felt I neeed to check actual mileage. I'll be putting and AFE cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust in a couple of weeks so we will see if that changes anything.
