heavy suv + stop and go traffic = shitty gas mileage

With a hundred-mile and a five-hundred mile road trip behind me I'm averaging about 12 mpg over the past 6 months with 3800 miles behind me - over 3k of that is stop and go traffic, so go figure...

Tough to say, I can't tell what engine you have but my 4.4 averages about 16.5-17.5 in town as long as I behave and about 21 mpg freeway. If your rolling a 4.4 as well I Would think about the pre cat O2 sensors if they have 80k+ on them.

x2 on changing the O2 sensors. Those effect A/F ratio and resulting gas mileage will plummet if not working correctly.

My 4.4 has about 106K miles....totally stock engine (original plugs, O2 sensors, etc) and I'm seeing an average of 16pmg in heavy traffic. And I have a lead foot. My MPG only drops below that if I'm in hilly terrain or really bad winter weather.

im getting 15 in my 2001 4.4. check your sparkplugs, fuel filter, coilpacks, oil. check your tire pressure and has it been aligned lately.

Inner city will get you 10-13 and i imagine in Miami traffic sucks. I get 16-18 in a mostly country setting.
