It's you, not the machine. First (if you're not heavy footed), the brake pedal is NOT the pedal drivers should use to control their speed - it's the WRONG petal. If I were following you, would I see your brake lights constantly flashing? Not only is this an attribute of poor drivers, it kills fuel efficiency. Rethink, and try not to follow so close. Pay attention and don't 'run up' behind someone then have to brake. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Take your foot from the brake when you go down a hill. Feather the accelerator. If not of this is you, I apologize. Every day I see people hit the brakes just to change lanes....no other reason.

Nearing 200k miles with a 6.0 or 6.2 V8 and wanting better mileage. Smaller engine, ease up on gas pedal and be consistent about wanting to burn through less fuel. Or find a smaller SUV, 2wd with 4 or str8 6. 86 Fed fleet suburban, 2bbl on 350ci. Locker hubs and absolutely no frills beyond 1" rubber floor mats all through. Was follow me rig at Moffett Field NAS near San Jose, CA. It will do high teens but has low end knock from creek error one day.
