Mine is 10.6 average 90% city... That said, I have heavy wheels, A/C blowing, and am most of the time driving normal... One or two mashes of the "slim go button" per tank. I bought it to have a little more fun, but did not anticipate it being this bad on gas. Wife won't even let me get rid of it...

same goes for my truck. if you step off in it it's real fun for a split second then the dash starts flashing and the fun is over!

You can turn traction control off. I am actually suprised at how good my traction has been from a 15-20 roll in 2wd mode.

from a roll it hooks amazing. from a stop is a different story. i know i could disable part of it by holding the tc switch but no need really. it's fun the way it is and the tires last a little longer.

even with traction control off it still kicks in, it will just spin a little more before it decides to take over...

my 2011 AWD Denali gets 15-16mpg city/highway driving. All highway nets me 18-19mpg. Not bad? IMO

My 2010 CC 4wd usually averages 15.5 per tank. I got 18.4 on my last 4-hour highway trip with the cruise set at 75. My question is, why not do the AFM in the trucks? Wouldn't it have helped GM's overall economy rating?

What's the difference between the two? Is it just tuning? I thought they were all 403hp.
From what I see in the tunes the 2009 has more ignition advance in PE mode:
at 5200rpm 4 deg more
at 5600rpm 7 deg more
at 6000rpm 9 deg more
also the shift rpm is 200 rpm more at WOT on the 2009.

Have you guys noticed, too, that the SUV 6.2s are tuned for 87 octane while the trucks want 91? They're rated at the same power level, too. Seems strange.
