That's not an accurate method of measuring fuel economy.
Even when new they were not gas misers by any means. If there are no codes showing, other than a basic tune up it is what it is.

Yes more info needed on codes for sure and what V-8 do you have in your 2000 along with trans/transfer case/gears all make a difference. The 99-04 model years were in the same lineup I have an 04 "Overland" edition with the 4.7HO engine, I guessing you may have the 4,7 standard HP engine.
If your unsure of exactly what you have email Chy. and get a build sheet for it and it will give you a lot of details about what options, gears, etc. Unsure about yours but mine is full time 4wd with 3.73 gears and highway mpg runs about 18-20 @ 70 mph at best if that tells you anything.
BTW welcome to the board.
