I questioned the dealer about this when I first got the vehicle. The answer had something to do with "less resistence" and "improved fuel economy".

Can't quite understand how the big V8 in the Tahoe loaner I have gets better mileage than my Acadia. Maybe the bigger motor more efficiently moves the larger mass of an SUV?


I got the same answer. We get about 22MPG on the highway with it.

back in the day when i was young and stupider i had an automatic pontiac that rolled back a bit.. i loved it, i'd seek out hills so i could roll back and then do wicked burnouts!!

doesn't work so well with the acadia and AWD...

22 sounds great. I can only manage about 19 on all highway driving. Average for mixed diving is 16 point something.
