Damn i wish i got anywhere close to that. I hear the later year NNBS vehicles get better mileage as my 6.2L Esky is an 07 and you have an 09 right?

Yes. Also have a BB tune on it, not sure how much of a difference it makes though.

4x4 in So Cal is a tough call. I think 2wd suv's are more common in that area (unless you like to head out to Glamis for the weekend ;)

I have it in Seattle (formerly LA) and only use it a handful of times a year. It sure is nice not to have to change tire set up or put chains on when you do need it though. If you its not a $ issue then I would get 4 wheel.

I get 18-19 on not too flat freeway driving with a pretty heavy 22" wheel in my 08 4x.

Well boys...picked up an 08 Tahoe LT today. Leather, 4x4, 70k miles, no navi or anything crazy but a pretty decently loaded truck and all I need to do is throw a navigation unit in it :D super happy...payments are same as my truck, insurance is cheaper and gas is certainly going to be cheaper :D thanks guys
