Are gas prices high (city driving) with an SUV.. like a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo? How much to fill a tank and does it go quickly?

It costs about $60 to fill a 20 gallon tank and because of the weight of the SUV, it burns more gas to get it going. If you like to accelerate fast and step down on the pedal more will use up more gas.
Here's a great site to compare cars and their fuel economy. For SUVs, go to "Search by Class":

Driving SUV's in the city is really bad for mpg's.
The engine burns the most gas under load, like moving from a stopped position, as this happens a lot in city driving. The heavier the car/bigger the engine, the worse it gets.

This is why God made us invent the Hybrid Escape.
