Dang I love this Suburban. We had a head wind all the wat down and set the cruise in the 72-74 range most of this leg. One of these trips i will get a tail wind and average well into the 30's. 
Bay City MI to Calhoun GA on one tank of diesel

Over 765 miles? Awesome! How does she ride at 39 psi?

Here’s a trip from Medford, OR to Paso Robles, CA we did back in February. The only reason we stopped a couple of times was potty breaks for the kids!

We did Indianapolis IN to Valdosta GA on one tank about a year ago, got scared and stopped 30 miles before Valdosta for fuel because the range indicator went from 0 miles to LO.
Well over 700 miles including Atlanta traffic. Not doing that again tho..!

I hear ya. We normally fill up in Cleveland TN or Ringold GA but I had enough range to make it to the Buc EEs in Calhoun GA. The range was at 55 miles but when I left I75 and turned the range went to " LOW"

No we still have our lemon law Tahoe. We did a cash and keep deal with a 6 year 75k 0 deductible GMPP warranty. It is a good daily driver for us and we don't venture to far from home with it since those 5.3 and 6.2 engines are ticking time bombs with push rod bending and lifter issues. We will get rid of it just before the warranty expires.

Don't like that dash setup but sure impressed with those numbers. Don't think my skinny butt would handle a non-stop drive like that with our hard seats though. Hard to beat a diesel on the road!
Gotcha. I recalled you had some sort of saga...
After 4 trips in for the camera system, two sides of bad lifters, and the transmission failing (67 days in for service in 9 mo. - musta been built in a Friday).....I got them to rebuy/replace, and went with the diesel. Love it, engine feels just....better.
