I expect to get 14 average, I can live with it.

That's what I get out of my V6...

I had a V6 Jeep Liberty for a few years that only managed 15-16...and it was weak.

3.5L V6, Honda Ridgeline. I drive like a fucking animal though... my old man has the same truck (2 years older) and he gets 16 around town, nearly 20 highway.

The best I've done is just shy of 19 highway over one tank coming back down here from Ohio. Most of the time I was just shy of 18mpg.

very sharp ride indeed..

congrats on the purchase. 19K does seem a bit painful but if you're happy with the quality that's all that matters. I do like the Tahoes.

the Wrangler will be better of course in my opinion. LOL (yeah just because I have one)

That's about what I get out of my V6 Liberty...maybe 1 mpg better or so.

Nice Tahoe.

Yeah well, I'm 2 mpg worse than that...

Wonder what Dlit is getting out of his Ridgeline...

The Ridgeline is one of the vehicles I was considering...nice little truck.

I've been in a few Tahoes from that era and from what I have seen they do hold up well when treated right. The leather in particular stays nice even with high mileage, especially when compared to a Ford Expedition.

It's light on balls and heavy on gas mileage... The only things I don't love about mine...

If Honda put a fucking V8 in this truck, it would be perfect.
