New to us, GMC Yukon Denali..... Hybrid

So, my wife has always been drawn to big SUV's, particularly the black and chrome variety . We were looking at the last generation Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalade. Those 6.2 V8's are fun to drive but thirsty AF.

We found a hybrid Denali 4wd and pulled the trigger. On the 50 mile trip home we got a solid 22mpg indicated with 33psig in the tires and 30°f outside.

We've got a 1000 mile round trip over Thanksgiving so that should give us a real good indicator of highway mpg.

It's very odd honestly, this monster truck behaves a lot like my volt as far as how the hybrid system operates.

I won't be driving it much but I'll try to at least get the two highway tanks recorded here. Anything you want to know about it, just drop a line.
