Get 16-18 depending on how I drive it.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

My 2012 Sierra Z60 4X4 gets 16 mpg. I have a K&N Cold Air Intake and a Gibson Metal Mulitia Exhaust System I put on the truck and it improved my gas mileage by .1 mpg. Truck is a whole lot funner to drive though.

2007 Sierra 4x4 with 122,000 miles.
Old tires: Goodyear Eagles 255-70-20-- 15.8 average for life of the truck (13 or so around town, 18-19 hwy)
New Tires for the past 5,000 miles: Nitto Terra Grapplers 260-70-20 getting about 2 mpg less on average, but I haven't been doing nearly as much highway driving since November in my truck, so I'm sure that has tweaked the mileage a good bit.
