As I'm trying to show respect for folks, all I'll say is that unless you're living in the snowbelt or have to off-road to your house everyday... you don't need a SUV.
As for fuel economy - after mods I can get 325-350KMs on 20Ls of 87 octane. That's driving 100 KM/H all the time. I can drop that down significantly as Nate mentioned by running 120-140.
In other words, I can drive from our door to my parents' front door on less than 1/2 an indicated tank of gas. The custom chip is a great idea, and you can also get a custom tune done for 87 octane as well. Hell, get a multi-tune chip and get both tunes.
