17mpg is really not that bad consider it is a SUV with a v8

Re: Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.
Those are nice, but I don't see 17mpg city driving out of that thing. :l How do you know what it gets already? How long have you had it? My Jeep weighs a tad over 4k and it gets about 12mpg city with a 4.7 V8. My Sierra got 9mpg no matter what. :3
I wouldn't mind having a Tahoe, but I've always thought they were gas hogs. :-\ __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

vortec engines are awesome powerplants. just like the lsx engines OHV all the way, torque + gearing + low revs = power & mileage. like i've said a million times |
