I agree - 4 seems off for a 2500 Suburban. We get 7 to 8 with a family of five towing 8,500 pounds in the trailer.
Like I said, I do think there is something wrong in the ECU cause it get that bad of mileage. It runs great and will pull a house if need be, but just sitting at an idle the exhaust fumes will just burn your eyes. Had it to a couple places to check it out but nobody could find anything wrong with it. Probably didnt help that it had 4.10 gears and a TH400 transmission either.It was just an old beater and we were planning to move up to a 5th wheel anyway so I couldnt justify spending any money on it, cause it would look really funny with a 5th wheel hitch in the back of a Suburban.
