Just went down to 9.9 omg. Gas is like 4 dollars.! I just try not to think about it lol. But I need to know if something is wrong.

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.

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.

Honestly have never seen mine below 15mpg. I sit in fairfield county traffic on I95 for 70 miles a day too..

:thumbup: Agreed - everyone has their own interpretation of what 'city' driving is.......10ish mpg is pretty normal for me for inner city Boston driving.
I would be more worried about a change in mpg for the same route/driving conditions.
