I am of the opinion that if you are driving one of these you aren't really concerned with fuel economy, I don't feel less than 30 mpg should be regarded as good mileage. If this is just a toy thats one thing, but if you are going to use it as a daily driver, I consider 20 mpg nearly criminal. (yes I put suburbans, expeditions and the rest of them in that category) But that is just me, the sheer number of them on the road makes its own statement. I am pretty upset I only get 34 mpg in my little bitty car, the truck I don't even want to know...but then I only drive it occasionally. To each his own, that is just my feelings.
