I have a superflash pack that allows me to reprogram my computer for my engine calibration. All I do is plug it in and program my truck for best economy. It gives me up to 20 MPG and increases my torque and gives a little boost in HP. It's def. a nice addition. But w/o anything like that, a basic Yukon will get about 14.8 MPG. But then again it all depends on how you drive. I mean I'm more of a cruise 5 below speedlimit and then have the horsepower to pass someone quickly if need be. And about the oil.. You could probably get away with regular oil, but it could be risky with your added performance parts. I run full synthetic oil in my yukon. Not cause I have to, but I want the best for it. I agree with the post above. Mobile 1 makes a very high quality synthetic oil.
