Telluride Fuel Efficiency

[Starmaster]

Thought I'd start this topic because it's bound to become a popular one. We saw the Stinger get some slack from the media about fuel efficiency so I wonder if Kia made any extra efforts to prevent that from happening with the Telluride. If they can manage to beat the competition here that would be really really big news. I think one thing Kia has going against it is they're big on steel in South Korea and not aluminum. What are your thoughts?

I am currently averaging 20- 21 miles a gallon in City driving, this does take in to account some driving on the express way but nothing long distance. I suspect on longer distance drives I should see 24-25 and for an AWD V6 I am good with that. I am coming from a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a V8 Hemi, which I got about 15 miles to the gallon city and about 18-19 highway so pretty significant improvement for me.
