Let's go Chevy. Big fan of GMT400 platform. Best mpg I ever got out of my 97 suburban is 18.3mpg cruising at 74mph. Have gotten 18mpg before, but 18.3 was the best and most recent ever got. On the highway, I will typically see 16-17.6 mpg depending on the speed. 18.8 mpg even on a tahoe is mind-blowing for a stock suv, but sure you all cruise at a lower speed than I typically do.

My single mom bought a new 2002 Tahoe v8 Which was passed down to me last year 20+ years later. It has never been in the shop except for routine maintenance oil, brakes , spark plugs battery. That's it. It needs new rear shocks and I think it needs a ball joint on the driver's side. Still running strong. 188k on the dash, and I'd have no fear to drive it to Colorado and back. In town mpg is crap at 10-12 mpg. But out in the country. I live in a very hilly area of East Texas. I can manage 16-17mpg.

[@joet1717]

Can confirm, albeit with very different vehicles of the same era. 2002 Avalanche Z71, my grandpa bought it new. He got about 17-18 with it, I couldn’t keep 16 because I like v8 noises. Still runs great, minimal maintenance. I just acquired an 01 gmc sierra 1500hd, 4x4 6.0L, and I believe I get about 13-15 mpg on 285/75/17s.

It was a great truck. We then got a 99 with sold it at 240,000 miles. Not a hiccup and we used it to tow a boat often. They just aren't made like that anymore. It's a shame.

[@OhPhuckYou]

I inherited my uncle's 04 Expedition Eddie Bauer that he bought brand new. I drove it to 338K while still using it for Lyft and would regularly get complements on it. It ran like new, had ice cold AC, and all the bells and whistles worked like new. Over those 338K; it only needed an ignition coil. It's still the favorite vehicle I've ever had and regret trading it in. CarMax was amazed when they seen how many miles it had on it and how good of shape it was in. It handled very well thanks to the long travel IRS and was also quite capable off road with some AT tires. The first and second gen Expeditions with the 2V Modular engines are some of the best vehicles on the road.

[@TheMeanmarine13]

​@OhPhuckYou Did those have the 4.6 or 5.4? We had a 97 F150 and drove that thing 240k miles before selling it. It was such a sharp looking truck. People regularly complimented it when that body style first came out.

Probably the peak of SUV. That Tahoe was not cheap back in the day. Andre said $37K sticker price which today amounts to $71,000. During the high gas prices of the mid/late 2000s these things were about being given away. I'm assuming many were destroyed with cash for clunkers program.

[@gators_garage]

Unless the road is always flat cruise control gets worst mpg cause it’s can’t see the hill your about to climb so once it sees the mph drop it’s to late and it floors it instead of a person seeing it and giving it a little more gas before the hill and keeping a lower throttle percentage through out the hill

It is unbelievable that people are still discussing fuel consumption, when it is only COST OF OWNERSHIP that matters.

OBDII or what came before it? What Comes before 2? One... OBDI. Lol. Great car guys!

Wow, 6.6 gallons to go 111 miles. That is insane! My cars tank is only 9.8 gallons. When I have used 6.6, I am at 1/8 of a tank according to the gage. With my tank, I've gone up to 430 miles, and put 7.2 gallons in it. I like my 1.2L I3.

Roman's address to Millennials was the most Dad remark, Millenials grew up in these exact SUVs, they know what a power antenna is. Gen Z maybe not...

Yall about have me lose my mind up in here

19:30 my 8.1 gets the same fuel as my 6.0 Chevy got. Also- changing tire sizes on my 08 tundra was detrimental to fuel economy but I went from stock on my 8.1 Yukon to 255/85r16 and increased by 12% fuel economy (accounting for odometer difference).

21:30 when he said 25 mpg hahhahaha

[@C-M-E]

Somehow I missed the first vid, but upon reading the title, my immediate answer was "454 Suburban". Notorious for slurping fuel where 8mpg was an achievement.
