Don't waste your time on a 5.3. My 6.2 short crew averages 19.5-21 on a long highway cruise driving it sanely. It has tons of power and will fly when you need it too. 5.3's gutless turd in stock form with mediocre gas mileage because it's workin it's *** off to pull a heavy truck around. I have few mods but nothing major volant/magnaflow muffler resonator delete and a mile tune.
