I'm with APT -- I wouldn't be a big fan of the AWD. Twice as many moving parts, so more maintenance, more to go wrong, and more fuel used. We have a few friends w/ full size AWD GM suv's (Denalis and Escalades) w/ the 6.0, and they seem to use quite a bit more fuel than our 5.3 Subs have. I don't know if it is the engine or the AWD, but something is amiss. The 6.2 seems like a great engine, though.
I had a different experience. When driving the 6.2 vehicle, it achieved higher MPG for my driving. I believe this was because the 6.2 went into V4 mode more often. However, I do know that the 2013 Suburban with the 5.3 had better MPG then the 2012 and earlier.
