Welcome to the site, davyboy.

First question (you had to know it's coming): do you need a Yukon?

If not, the best vehicle mod you can make is to look around and find something different that actually gets decent fuel economy!

If you need to drive a big truck, there are lots of changes you can make to your driving style & the vehicle, but the end result is you'll still be going through a lot of fuel.

Personally, I'd would have been leery of getting a thirsty vehicle knowing what's going to happen to fuel prices once the economy claws its way out of recession.
