The rear-wheel-drive C15 model gets a combined 19 mpg (16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway), and the four-wheel-drive K15 model comes in at 18 mpg combined (16 mpg city, 22 mpg combined). Those ratings are achieved by the redesigned 5.3-liter V-8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic.
The map on the right shows that lightning is not distributed evenly around the planet. About 70% of lightning occurs on land in the Tropics, where the majority of thunderstorms occur. The north and south poles and the areas over the oceans have the fewest lightning strikes.
Lightning discharges may occur between areas of cloud without contacting the ground. When it occurs between two separate clouds it is known as inter-cloud lightning, and when it occurs between areas of differing electric potential within a single cloud it is known as intra-cloud lightning.
