[Sarcasm] I think for my next project, I'll get a Metro clone and build it to 400 WHP. I might give it 4WD also; would be a great winter car. [/Sarcasm]

OK, OK.
But I think a Suburban has so much going against it mpg-wise, I can't see how it would be a good starting point. Unless of course you NEED a Suburban for it's massive capacity or some other quality it has. In which case, I think I'd just give it a tuneup and pump up the tires and drive it only when absolutely necessary.
