These trucks burn a lot of gas when they need to accelerate all that weight, but they are efficient at maintaining speed.

I think the general consensus is 11-12mpg in a real city environment and like 22-23 mpg with cruise on 75mph. Crazy how different it is.

If you anctually maintain 55mph, its like 27mpg on a flat surface.

That's what I'm getting on my 6.2 and all the posts of seen are relatively the same regardless of motor.

I pretty much stay at 13.5 in the city but that's always loaded for work at 6k lbs.

lifetime average of my 2014 when I traded it in with almost 60k on the clock was just over 20 mpg, granted I babied her most of the time, but I treated her like a **** a fair amount also.

I actually I ordered it that way thinking I would not molest it as I have! Crazy Right?!!!! BTW I can set up ring and pinions myself so that's not a biggie at all.
