Fuelly.com You can browse and filter by make, model, trim and engine size. It's all real world data manually entered by drivers. There are other sites that should give other data.

There is more data for the Yukon than for the Yukon XL.

Before you decide on a car, you should factor your wife's driving habits.

% city vs highway
% sitting in traffic
% idling
heavy foot?

My experience with more highway than city but a lot of idling is the gas mileage touches the median between both numbers and slightly below. I'm getting roughly 16.5-17.5 in a 5.3L. You can imaging that to be even worst on the 6.2L.

Most of what she does is highway driving I'd say 90% is highway

Over the last six weeks since I bought it, my wife's '14 Denali has been getting 13.9mpg. It will do significantly better on the highway but about 5 minutes of idling/warm up and the avg drops like a rock.
