I was in south Carolina with my 2014 6.2 with 3.73 rear and 20" wheels with stock tires.....tire pressure was 37 lbs. gas used was pump 87 octane.... was 40-50 farenheit outside air temp. I was pulling a tiny 4x8 utility trailer with a 1000lbs. or so of tools. truck also has a vinyl bed cover. truck has 1000 miles on it. 32 m.p.h. = exactly 28 mpg [go to 35 m.p.h. to get truck in 5th gear and then slow down to 32 m.p.h.on cruise control.....truck sometimes shifts to 4th] 40 m.p.h. = over 25 mpg 6th gear 50-55 m.p.h.= over 23 mpg 6th gear towing a double axle 28' enclosed car hauler from Georgia ,, radial tires 80 lbs of air in 16" radial tires [under 6000lbs. estimated weight.and added cargo] 35-40m.p.h. = 17 mpg 6th gear 45 m.p.h. = 14mpg 5th gear 50 m.ph. = 12-13 mpg 5th gear these numbers were accomplished with perfect tire pressure, ordinary pump gas, NO WIND CONDITIONS, 6.2 motor in a double cab 2wd., ltz with no extra options except block heater, cargo lights and tie downs, bed rug, tonneau cover, 350lb. driver. road must be perfectly flat. [rte 17, just south of Charlestown s.c.] I think this is chevy's lightest truck with the 6.2..... the only difference between the 6.2 and the 5.3 is bore size and a little more compression

my 2014 double ltz appears to have 4 bolts holding the console to the hump on the floor....it's kinda weird how if you were to remove the center, you'd wind up with two seats. like buckets. I really don't understand gm....they have the best truck on the market, but do stupid things . not being to order the options I wanted is whacked out. are the people running gm taking pills that we have never heard of? i ordered my truck with a bench, but don't see how my bench is really a bench at all. i am a big and tall guy and my left shoulder touches the pillar and my right elbow is kinda jammed against the console.....i think they should make a truck that can seat people not test dummies....has anyone heard of or seen a 6'5 and 350lb. test dummy? small people have small minds, i know because i measured one once.. i guess i'll have to get out my sawsall and cut out a place in this truck for me to sit. women and midgets should go back to the kitchen and circus respectively.
