It may be a computer programming problem. If enough of you complain to GM they probably will come up with a fix.

| It's been very aggravating not getting any info from my #1 source for automotive information. I already see more posts today than the past three weeks. | |

Replying to: nosbor77 (Nov 14, 2006 8:47 am) Not much has been posted about the 3 cylinder deactivation they have, other than it tends to be very noisy when in 3 cylinder mode. Basically GM isn't alone and you can't say all the imports are better. |

Replying to: nedzel (Nov 14, 2006 9:46 am) You can find the Consumers Union report at http://www.consumersunion.org/pub/core_product_safety/002632.html The guy jwimmer on this forum who claims outrageous fuel economy numbers is not even driving a Tahoe. His 18 MPG city mileage claims are not anything even close to what other forum members are getting City. Must be the "correct" driving that nearly doubles his mileage...or somethin'...yeah SOMETHIN'. I have to agree with you. The numbers that I checked in that Consumers Union report for Japanese vehicles that I've owned(Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Infiniti, Nissan)are pretty accurate based on my personal experience. They don't seem to overstate the numbers. The GM numbers for Tahoe are just not accurate. GM's Tahoe numbers of 16-21 MPG are just not achievable for those of us who are driving Tahoes. Fuel economy credibility is apparently not a major problem for GM...they sell around the issue...and hook guys like you and me with fancy ads...and AFM fluff...that sounds good...and does not deliver. |

Replying to: rspencer (Nov 15, 2006 8:58 am) People who try to protect GM are doing so b/c they are in love with the name & are in denial that they've been fooled by them.. (Kinda like when you hear your girlfriend is cheating on you & you don't want to beleive it) Then they try to distract you off the subject by bringing up things that have nothing to do with the original complaint. When, what they are really doing is trying to talk themselves into feeling that its ok b/c they're affraid of facing reality.
