Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those hwy numbers measured at 55MPH. At 75 aerodynamics will take there toll. Real world MPG will be very telling. My guess is that it'll average 17 per tank on the 2WD model! Better, but not good enough with gas >=$3.00.

The new Tahoe will move away from the traidional chrome bumper to the inner bumper with outside plastic bumper warp. Personaly, I really dont like the plastic thing on the Tahoe or any truck. The plastic bumper is very easy to get scratched during any minor impact. Go to any parking lot and look closly on late modle cars and you will see substential amount of them have some visiable scraches on the plastic bumpers. Some poorly made plastic bumpers will even sag without ever being hit. Whereas most chrome bumpers last pretty much forever without any scratches or color fading. Obviously having long lasting durability is not a top priority anymore.

Are measured on a dyno. There is a prescribed "course" that they drive -- X minutes at Y miles an hour, Z minutes stopped, A minutes at B miles an hour, etc., etc. It is NOT steady driving at 55 mph.
But I certainly agree that driving at 75 mph you will not see the highway rating.

No Lemon Law-In CT the defects must make the vehicle unsafe to drive, so cosmetics are out:( I understand I may have bought the one lemon, but my argument and frustration is that the dealer and GM wouldn't stand behind their product at all-but they will sell me a new one! I forgot that the drivers power seat panel has 4 screws, 3 were stripped and the other just missing...plus the 4 main Bose speaker grills have rusted!?? (Not that it matters as the radio only worked for 1 year...Several of my friends have the same truck w/o the problems (well except for the Bose radio, the brake rotors and door hinge cracks)

Right on man.
This truck needs some AG Simpson chrome. Although this truck looks nice, a bar is a must on GM SUV's/Trucks. For the Silverado's/Sierra's they better have a chrome bumper and they MUST still suit Bob Seger's - Like a Rock.
