#5 of 6 2008 Envoy Denali by delrick Jun 04, 2008 (5:42 pm)
Leased one of these in December.   Nice vehicle.   It has the V8 that supposedly cuts fuel to 4 cylinders, load permitting, Active Fuel Management".   Of course the geniuses that make "Professional Grade" didn't think it would be worthwhile to let the driver know when this miracle occurs.   So it may happen, it may not. You will never know. There is no light or indication of any kind to let you know if you are in economy cruise.   What an amazing oversight. They are closing their factories due to fuel consumption issues.   Here thay have a technology that is actually being delivered and they don't have the sense to provide a light to help a driver optimize his usage of the device.   Incredible.....

Replying to: delrick (Jun 04, 2008 5:42 pm) May be that since AFM is only when the engine is at speed and able to maintain with slight increases or decreases of engine speed and since it's really not in use other than in highway use, it was thought to be not needed.   And since you can get a similar "experience" when cruise control has to make adjustments as road grades make the speed sensor call for more or less power, it may be that an "idiot light" sort of arrangement was seen as possibly being too annoying if a driver had such indicator light kick on or kick off (especially during night time driving) "whimsically."
