I'm Really liking the MPG of my 2016 Denali

[DennisT]

I bought my Denali in July of last year and I've got a little over 16,000 miles on it now. I've made 4 round trips to FL in it at about 1,000 miles each way. It has averaged between 20.9 and 21.4 mpg on each trip and I drive around 78 to 82 mph. Around town I'm getting around 16 mpg. That really beats my '09 6.2L Tahoe which only got around 12.5 mpg in town and the best it could do on FL trips was 17.5.

Is this similar to what others are seeing with their big SUV's?

I averaged 23mpg in my 17 Denali on the 9.5 hour drive home from the dealer. I was impressed.

That is what I get when I go from Miami-NYC area..Around town 16mpg.

That is with 2WD and A/C constantly on.

XL? 2WD or 4WD?

 

[AZRiverRunner]

That's about what I get in my Tahoe 4x4, I'm usually driving between SoCal and AZ, so there's a lot of up and down grades and fast.

 

[BMPNUGLS]

I make a 250 mile drive to a plant I service weekly since I bought my 2016 Denali XL 4WD...below was from this morning and is pretty consistent for the trip running no A/C, etc and averaging 79-80mph.
