That's my story and I'm sticking to it, honest as a Swift driver posing as an O/O at the lunch counter at a TA. Only 75k miles on a 2004? Wow that's pretty low! I also have a 2004 TB 4x4, just creeping up on 105k, and my mileage swings between 15-16.25mpg from Winter to Summer.
Definitely check into cleaning your throttle body, and take a good look at your fluid levels and what kind of condition they are in. I assume since you didn't mention it, no engine codes have popped up indicating a problem? Get yourself a couple of the larger bottles of Techron (did I spell that right?) to put in your next two tanks of gas... that will do a great job up cleaning up your fuel system and de-gunking your injectors.
Yea It came from WI and the dealership(?) sprayed black over the rust underneath to hide the rust so I'm thinking it wasn't used much but was exposed to deicing solutions quite a bit.
I will clean the TB for sure then.
I just returned to a right down the street beer run and noticed that the throttle is touchy from stopped/barely rolling until it shifts, maybe we need to apply the "egg under gas pedal" idea when getting up to driving speed?
The TB came from a local Chevy dealer and has a limited warranty and 2 year service agreement (I still need to read over that info!) so it has had an oil change and all fluids checked at least. I really want to change the other drivetrain fluids here soon though because I'm sure they didn't do them.
