Fuel Economy

Averaging 14.5 with a mixture of town/highway driving before my tuner, I don't know yet after. Haven't had it long enough.

Damn, this last tank netted me the best mpg I think I've ever had in a truck. I put 408 miles on it and it only took 26 gallons to fill it up. That comes out to about 15.7mpg. I have to admit that it was mostly highway driving and doing 60 to 75 mpg with a couple of construction zones slowing down the pace.

Not much highway driving with this. I've seen 24-25 a few times on trips with almost no stopping

I've been averaging a little over 14 miles a gallon since they've gone back to summer fuel. I usually only get 11/12 mpg in the winter, but I'm sure that's due to the truck idling more than it is the winter mix.

18 MPG average over the last 1300 miles in the truck. Most of that has been in-town commuting, grocery getting, etc.

If I baby the truck, I can squeeze 15 MPG US around town, and to and from work... But I'm averaging about 11.5 - 12 MPG... 10MPG on the really heavy foot days, lol.

It varies between 17 and 22 MPG on the highway. My last road trip not hauling or towing, I got 750 miles to 35 gallons out of 36.

I can get 22 @ 55
I average 14 around town
I get 18 @ 70 and it just gets worse from there
We went fully loaded on Memorial Day, into the wind, dragging the trailer @ 70 and I averaged 10 on that trip

My 02 Silverado gets 12mpg on straight E85 around town driving and 16mpg on 93.

I can definitely tell we're back on the winter mix. I blame that and not idle time as it has not been cold enough yet that warrants letting the engine warm up a bit.
