I pulled that number out of my.... well out of the air. Just a guess.

We can get a stock H2 to average 13 on the Hwy easily right now. 3-4 MPG should be easily achieved with the new tranny and dropping 4 cyls from time to time.

It is still a big barn to be pushing down the hwy, but the combo of the extra ponies and the tranny should give it some more mileage.

You reasoning is good, and it might be close. Just have not heard anything official. They say the Escalades get around 23, and that is not a light vehicle, but it is a bit more aerodynamic. I think it would be a hell of a package.
