Just got home from a 750 mile round trip driving my son-in-law's brand new GMC Yucon. The mileage was 14.7 going and 13.8 coming back. Ouch! The only reason we drove the Yucon was we had three of our grandkids with us. Otherwise we would have driven our 27 MPG family car. While we were driving I paid attention to how many SUV's are on the road and there are plenty.I imagine the other SUV's were getting alittle better mileage because they were broken in, but I was wondering why they couldn't drive a car instead. Most of them only had one or two passengers. They could save a lot of fuel. I admit I am a cheapskate, but my pickup is parked most of the time and my main farm car is a crackerbox Chevette that gets 40 mpg and is paid for. I can't imagine myself making payments on a vehicle that sucks my billfold dry at the gas pump. Just my biased 2c worth.
