Replying to: rspencer (Nov 15, 2006 9:58 am) Sorry rspencer, but I haven't claimed my 18mpg are city. All of my mileage is currently biased to >50% highway (most of it >80%). My worst so far has been better than 17 though, with a greater than usual amount of city driving in the mix. Not sure where you got the 18 city part from, but please stop making stuff up and attributing it to me.   The only part you have right is that my mileage numbers are higher than what you claim possible. And the fact that my non-Tahoe, using the EXACT same drivetrain, with worse aerodynamics, and more weight, gets numbers very much in line with the Tahoe EPA estimates has already proven you wrong about the numbers being acheivable. If you'd said "not acheivable where we drive," or "not acheivable the way we drive" then I couldn't fault your comment though.   Lastly, there's nothing outrageous about any of the numbers I've posted anywhere. If you check, you'll see that they're well within the EPA numbers (or no more than 10-15% higher, well within the "adjustments" made by EPA after their tests). I don't and would never claim to get mileage that competes with what "hypermilers" get (google that to see what I mean). Not that their results don't impress me, but I like to drive my vehicle fairly normally.

Replying to: nosbor77 (Nov 15, 2006 4:47 pm) AFM What a sad thing for GM. When a great company like GM is showing a $6.5 billion dollar R&D budget...and the AFM techno-bust is a research product they choose to advertise and go to market with...it's time for big changes. Apparently testing was not done to confirm it's effectiveness or validity. I don't get it...   I would say the GM board of directors is asleep...and their senior management is moving the company in the wrong direction...yet again.   Toyota is taking market leadership...not so much as because they are competent...but moreso because GM is not competent.   GM's claims that they are playing on a not so level playing field against the "forenors" is not the way forward. Government intervention/protectionism won't git'er' done.   Winning in the marketplace will get 'er done. And you can't win there by misrepresenting your products' performance.   I like my Tahoe...but not the phony gas mileage claims that came with it.

Replying to: rspencer (Nov 15, 2006 9:58 am) Thanks for posting that link to the Consumers study. We had no idea that all that work was being done to test so many cars and trucks gas mileage.   There was a posting you made yesterday around 9:00 PM. It was there...and then it was gone. It referenced my message to someone on here a few weeks ago. What happened? Was it moved to another blog?

Replying to: nosbor77 (Nov 13, 2006 3:08 pm) I bought my 07 Tahoe 3 weeks ago and am seeing 18 mpg in open highways. I did install a new magnaflow exhaust which should help, but no way is it going to see 21 mpg as quoted.   Did find out that there is a RECALL on the torque converter...   Overall happy with the car...
