FWIW, the shifting issue has a TSB issued and a dealer can fix it, and the gas gauge being off is going to require a software update that is in development.

We test drove an acadia a couple of months ago, loved it and ordered one. We've had it for 2 weeks now, and this one seems to shift much differently than the one we test drove. Any tiny little hill makes the car downshift into 5th even at low speeds of 60-65. The other day driving into a 20 mph wind it wouldnt even shift into 6th. Ive read about people complaining about acadias not downshifting quick enough, but we seem to have the exact opposite problem and it cant be helping the gas mileage, as we are getting only about 19 highway. Can this shifting pattern be reprogrammed?

I am considering an Arcadia, but the posts for MPG are troubling. The MPG should definitely be better than a Tahoe!
I currently have a BMW 740i (2000) and I get better combined #'s that what is being posted here and that is a bummer. I am getting 16.5 overall (city/hwy).

Teri2, What mileage are you getting w/ your 2000 Suburban? I thought they were noted as gas hogs (like the car I currently own) and with gas prices rocketing out of sight, that can be a deciding factor. I may wait and look at the new toyota highlander (100% new design) hybrid which will get approx 28 combined if early test drives are accurate. It will seat 7 (same as current)
