I'm sorry but you guys must drive like..I dunno....BMW drivers?

My S5 has the 4.2 V8 and I think the gas mileage is phenomenal, especially compared to the Silverado it replaced. Day to day commute I get a fairly regular 26 mpg, and that includes a 1,600-ft climb up the mountain to my house in Mountain Top. Of course, on my way to work I'm coasting down that same mountain so it averages out. But either way, round trip I'm averaging 26.

When I drive down to the base (I'm a Reservist) about 3 hours each way, 3-4x per month, I am comfortably getting 27-28 and have done as well as 32 when I experimented with "hypermiling" it.

I don't feel like I'm babying the car at all. I just don't drive like an ass. Just because you have 365hp doesn't mean you have to use it constantly.
