Road trip! Decent MPG...

[George C]

All I know, and want to know is that our new vehicle's cruise can hold gear on almost any incline at speed without down shifting. What a difference from our last Tahoe.
Thrilled to death...

I'm not sure what MPG is.....And couldn't care less.

Given your cruising speed, load and 6-speed your fuel use doesn't seem unusually bad. Do you use cruise control most of the time?

I agree with you, I really like the ACC. I wish it could go to 0 like the Escalade does but other than that I don't have any serious complaints.

Here is the trip from Tampa to Greenville, SC this past Friday. What should've been a 8.5 hour trip took 12.5 due to traffic. It was stop and go about all the way back. 85mph one minute and then 20mph the next. I got pretty good mileage all things considered. I was driving a 15 Yukon XL SLT with the 5.3L I rented from Enterprise.

Julian,
I'm just thrilled to not have to deal with that underpowered slug in my wife's old Tahoe. This thing is so light on its feet.
