Better Mileage than my Wife's Escalade

It doesn't get 20MPG but how many cars get the EPA rated mileage? I am getting 15 around town and 17 on the highway. My wife has a 2008 Escalade ESV (not a hybrid) that gets about 12 around town and 16 on the highway. At 2000 miles per month, I figure I will save about $100 at $2.50/gallon. I do have more things that can go wrong but that is why I bought an extended warranty although it doesn't cover everything. The tire sensors (did not work which the dealer was suppose to fix and didn't) which the tire shop indicated they go bad after 8-10 years. The big trim piece in front of the dash is broken, the upholster is messed up on the console lid and the back seat but that has more to do with the last owner than the car itself. It does have wind noise around the driver's window and a few rattles but overall, I am satisfied. It is not a new vehicle. It does still have about half of its life left but cost me about 20% of the cost of a new one.

It ain't a Prius, but I am getting much better city mileage than in my previous CX-9. I have been pleasantly surprised that I have not given up much in terms of acceleration but gained so much in luxury, comfort and space. The legend is (not from the dealer but my research) that this is one of the "bail- out mobiles" driven from Detroit by the GM execs that were blasted for flying the private jets. A bunch of them came off lease and I got this for $11k-$13k below retail (according to Edmunds and KBB). Looks a lot better once I got all the blasted "Hybrid" decals off. We are in love with the Big Sipper.
Enjoy the ride

Enjoy the car a lot. We traded in a Volvo XC-90 and enjoy an increase of about 5 mpg and (more important to the wife) an increase of about a 200 miles between fill-ups. The Escalade has performed flawlessly and the tight turning radius makes it easy to park. The magnetic ride control easily makes this the best riding vehicle I have ever owned.
Our second Escalade, this ones the best!

Great SUV, even though it is a Hybrid the power is considerable. When comparing to other vehicles such as the Range Rover and GL550, they just don't match up for the features and the price. My wife uses this vehicle and it is perfect for our family.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND MILEAGE IS TERRI

I bought this car thinking I was going green. Unfortunately, only thing green about this car is the high price tag. I have always had a MERCEDES and never minded spending the money as it is a quality car. No comparison!!!! Leather is cheap in the Escalade and my dog have made scratches every time they are in there. Storage is non existent. Not even room for the DVD ear phones. No spare tire. Had to pay $1,400 extra for a spare tire mounted underneath the car. This car needs to be totally redesigned and done correctly Do not waste your money on this one.
