i have a 4 runner and a trail blazer,both are smaller than the escalade and have less cylinders cost me about 60 bucks to fill either of them, and that will last about a wk if i keep using the same vehicle everyday

ps i have set of rims put on after market, it ididnt make a noticable difference in gas consumption

My dad just sold his '02 escalade EXT and sold it and just bought a '07 escalade EXT (same as escalade mpg wise) and his gas bill was about $65 every time he filled up (thing has a huge tanks; you can go 500+ miles on one tank!). He averaged about 14-15 mpg in the city and I think 17-18 mpg on the highway. The '07 is super sick! I can post a pic when he gets home from work tonight at around 6 or 7 if you want to see it.
Basically, it just depends what you would use more....does it snow where you live; would 4 wheel drive be needed?
If you have the money, a slightly used CTS-V 6-speed would be sick if your into the cars...
Anyways ask me if you have any more questions.

just to give you an idea, I own bmw x5 3.0 (v6) four wheel drive full time sports package which comes with 18" rims and my gas bill in average is $74 to fill up 22 gallons lasting about eight days and air condition is on full time. (used daily)

[StoneGRMI]

If your debating between those two cars I don't think gas should be an issue.

speakin of...what is gas where you guys are at? 3.33 for reg unleaded today here in ny.

[gixxerboy1]

What it cost to fill the tank isnt the issue its the mpg that cost you. I have a awd v8 mountaneer. It gets 13-14 mpg

The DTS is a perfect car. My boyfriend has one with heated seats, seats that cool you also, seperate climate control, Northstar V8 that blows rice rockets off the block, etc. I love it.

See I currently own a car that takes 93 octane only, so its costing me $55 every time i fill up the 14.5 gallon tank...i average 16.6/mpg in my car.. If you're telling me the Escalade isnt much difference MPG wise then its only the matter of the tank size. What grade gas does the Escalade run on?

[Smart-tony]

I work at Budget car& Truck rentals and i was told buy a customer that to fill a Escalade was 140.00 canadian at a 1.18 a litre.
I drove a Escalade and a 100kilometer i pull in 25dollars canadian and that was a little over 1/8 of tank all city driving.
There isn't a big difference in gas unless you are doing highway 19mi per gal for a Escalade,and for a deville at 34mi per gal.There very close when it comes to city driving.I did drive the Deville many times at work great handling car with all the bells and whisles.Just test drive the both of them first.Best of luck!

[PROTEINSHAKE]

a 6.0 liter escalade is getting about 14 MPG figure out your miles per week & what it will cost u

[audis4]

What grade gas does the Escalade run on?

93...or high test.

[305GUY]

i got a v8 f-150 i get between 12-13 mpg... average $75 bucks a week

[audis4]

Thats what we run it on anyways

[Smiley619]

why the dts???dont like the sts?? pick the car that is best for you. but i know me being in socal i probably would not buy a truck because gas is supa killa yet, im seriously thinking about getting a charger r/t which im sure is a guzzler.so it all comes down to what you want and what you are willing to sacrifice in terms of gas

[cfiler]

Honestly, I'd get the Escalade. The gas won't be too much more, and generally trucks depreciate in value less than cars. Plus all the extra room inside is worth the extra gas. Once you have a truck, you never want a car again.

[PROTEINSHAKE]

either way , you are spending a good amount on gas...the differnece wont be THAT huge...get the nicest ride you can. I'm with cfiler all the way

[BigUno]

i drive a yukon and in canada with gas prices now im lookin at 90 bucks to fill

[audis4]

I'm driving my dual sport and I'm looking at about $9 a week on gas.

IMO, I say esaclade.

[*Alex*]

i got a ext and its $85 to fill up! lasts 5 days for me.

[thegodfather]

Think Im going to get the DTS, more practical for me and I can get one newer and cheaper than the escalade... at least the DTS gets 18/21

[Beefyman]

lightning take about 70-80$ a fill
