Our 07 gets between 16-20 in the city. This depends greatly on the driver, route, and traffic. I have seen as high as 28 on the highway, but more typical is 24-26 on the highway at speeds of 65-72.5. I try to stay away from 75+.
Around home with a constant mix of highway and city we usually average around 21.5.
We're very pleased with that.

every 2,500 miles due to the black oil. I use a good quality oil Pen Oil . I was a engine rebuilder for 10 years and have noticed that cars or suv's that get low gas milage get the oil dirty quicker. Most of the time is is due to the fact of to much fuel entering the cyc which shorten the life of the engine and cost a arm and a leg in fuel. I was wondering if anyone has heard about a chip change for the computer in this suv or can I change one of the parimeter in the computer to adjust fuel .

The other thing that increased my gas mileage and stopped rattles was to change the oil in the transfer case and the front and rear differential. Most new owners don't change that at 3000-5000 miles but it's strongly recommended so that you can get rid of the metal shavings as the parts wear in. I did it myself and it wasn't hard.
