Every report I have read of late model GM vans with 6-spd owners get about 1mpg better than we do unloaded. I have no complaints about our Suburban. It is our main family vehicle and wife's daily driver replacing a minivan. We get about 14mpg mixed roads, 18mpg highway non-towing, which is about 15% less fuel than the half ton it replaced while offering far more power. The vans are reporting slightly higher, maybe 2WD, maybe the 3.42.... We put 21k miles our first year, and scaled back as a 3rd vehicle for about a year, so we are at 50k miles in 3 years. These 6.0L/6-spds are dead reliable.
