non flex version :( the nearest flex station is 30 miles round trip anyways..


my operating costs are great between the maintenance,fuel etc,,, i spent 0.26¢ per mile around town on my old car between maintenance and fuel. over the 50,000 miles i had it. buying fluids because of leaks... that car I had was a lemon..\

I never changed the oil in it because it was always clean as i was always putting fresh oil. i put almost 50,000 miles on it..

JB weld the almost everything in the engine bay to help stop/slow leaks (it actually did a better job as the replacement parts failed with in 2 years and i spend $12-15,000 total over the whole time I had it)


it had a very dangerous fault with it anyways the ignition had an issue where you can start it with anything that could fit in it.. you were also able to pull the key with out putting it in park.
and able to shift out of park without the key.. that means if a kid was messing with the they could shift out of park.. etc..and crash it or start it etc..


that GM recall for the faulty ignition was nothing but an actual band aid... and not fix the actual issue with it..



I got the SUV as a gift so my initial costs was just the insurance for 200$, spare tire and fuel costs so i'm only about $400 in the hole with this one.. at the moment..
I was given 15k to buy one from my mom (I was spouse to get a silverado but my uncle got greedy and stole it from the estate )
even though I worked very hard 12 hour days taking care of my grandpa for 9 months straight. so my mom gave me 15k out of her share to buy what ever I wanted.

I worked very hard and he wanted me to have it.
I have about 1900 left over from it for repairs or upgrades/ minor fixes

still waiting on the title, this damn dealership is starting to piss me off , they still have not even done the paper work even though I bought right out.. i only have a 60 day temp registration and the tags expired in Jan

i might have to make them take it back and refund me
because i have a lot of work to do such as replacement of the headlights and fender to make it look nice again and a few minor details fixed...



I really Want to find out who the original owner was . It was a movie star or rich person since it Originally titled in Beverly Hills,CA 90210 ... back in 2009



if it was a really famous persons it can be worth a pretty penny one day...

like tupac BMW and Notorious B.I.G.'s GMC Suburban which sold for millions

Go get a hybrid 6.0L getting fantastic numbers.. on my last highway trip it was 45 MPG on the 6.0L driving @ 55-60mph.... I MADE the electric do all the work. while it was idling in v4 mode most of the time That E-Assist can really boost the numbers quite a bit since figuring out how to "manipulate the e-assist."..
158 Miles only required 3.5 gallons of fuel Yes I pumped the gas COLD (40°F outside)... so the fuel vapors condensed..

number break down
0.558 gallon on the down hill side
2.944 gallon on the uphill side it's expecting as the engine will do more work to overcome the hill so more fuel is going from pretty much sea level to 4,000 ft then to 2200 ft
________________________
3.502 gallon total used 158 miles..



I mean if you hate the MPG go get a Prius or Volt or hykon/hyhoe/hycalade
You may want to read this before you give yourself frostbite trying to buy cold gas

Did you check the nav unit's history? How about getting copies of service records from dealership?

There's also a feature to drop crumbs as you drive, not sure how long they stay in memory or how to get them out though.

All that of course assumes you have a nav unit!

Yeah they left the information in the Navi unit

they moved in 2011 though ironically when they sold it they sold the tahoe as well

Gordon Binder's Tahoe

there is a second address labeled "home" i'll see what that shows
