This 1999 Cadillac Escalade 4WD delivers a straightforward formula: gasoline V8 power, an automatic gearbox, and traction at all four wheels. Its practical downside is equally clear. The 11 MPG city rating, 15 MPG highway rating, and $5,150 annual fuel figure point to substantial fuel spending. Consider it when four-wheel drive and SUV utility matter more than economy. If lower fuel use is the priority, these numbers make the choice harder to justify.

The numbers
The figure that defines this Escalade is 13 MPG combined. In city driving it is rated at 11 MPG, while highway driving is 15 MPG.
That four-MPG spread shows why steady highway trips use less fuel than stop-and-go city travel for this SUV.

Trade-offs
The 5.7-liter V8 and four-wheel-drive system come with a 13 MPG combined rating and a $5,150 annual fuel-cost figure.
Highway economy is four MPG higher than the city rating, but 15 MPG still means fuel remains a central ownership cost.
