General Motors issued a stop-sale order last week to its dealers of 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia SUVs, calling for those models not to be sold until a correction could be made to the vehicle's window stickers. The concern is that the stickers overstate fuel economy by 1 to 2 mpg. A GM spokesman told Consumer Reports that the automaker is in the process of updating those figures in advertising materials, marketing, and websites, in addition to the window stickers on about 60,000 crossovers currently on dealer lots.

However, when Consumer Reports looked at our own historical test data next to fuel economy numbers from the Environmental Protection Agency and GM's own claims, it seemed like there might be more to this story. It's possible that the stated figures for the Enclave, Traverse, Acadia, and also the discontinued Saturn Outlook may have been incorrect for years.
