Does this seem kind of low? Trip B is reset after every fill up. About 95% of this driving has been babying it and using cruise control a lot, even when driving in town (30/45)

Those seem a little low, I get that even when I'm playing around. Most of it depends how much you are actually "stopped" in stop and go traffic. I noticed the sweet spot in my truck seems to be 45mph for gas mileage.

 

Another note, I bet wheel size and gear ratio can make a big difference. I have 3.08's and the 18" wheels, those with 20" or 22" inch wheels will have a higher rotational mass, which will decrease mileage in town especially.

I appearently don't have a 25-mile average screen. All I can find is the average mpg on the tripometer screen. Is the best 25-mile screen only on specific models?

you have to go into the settings.scroll through the pages.. its initialy not checked as a viewed page. Then once on that page you have a couple selections I think 25 mile 50 mile 100 mile and 400 mile..

I go to a dealer 45 min from home for service on our car, I play stupid with them they think all I drive is an equinox. The car was in for oil change 4 days ago, I decided to troll a salesman. Took an SLT for test drive, he came along. Of course I got the whole "these new

Trucks are light years ahead of dodge or ford" then the salesman proceeded to tell me his gets 31mpg on the highway and that it pulled almost as good as a diesel LOLOLOLOL

 

I was like "oh wow!! That's awesome, it sure does feel powerful!!! I like the v6, I mean v8 sound!!" :)

 

He tried to get me too look into trading my car for a 14' lol I was like "no, I think I'm gonna wait till they get 50mpg " Hahahah

 

The truck I drove had 300km on it it averaged about 17mpg from what I saw on the DIC...

Wow, what an idiot. The last salesman I dealt with wasn't too bad actually. He almost knew as much about the truck as I did.

I think if I was a salesmen I would research the products I would be selling. I wouldn't like it if a customer came in knowing more than me.

I was blown away by the stupidity. I almost lol'd when he said 31mpg.

I have had my 14 for about 2 1/2 weeks now with a little over 200 miles on her. So far I am at 16.2 with all in town driving. 5.3 with 3.42 rear end.

On my third tank of gas, so far, 90% highway miles, I am averaging 20.6 on my daily commute to work and back. It will cross over to 1000 miles tomorrow. Very pleased with gas mileage and the truck. 3.42 gear, 4x4 Silverado LTZ.

I drive 15 miles to work, but i drive a lot around town, and we have lots of major highways that cut thru town. Here is what i got in V8 ! i have seen better but this MPG stayed the most! 18.4 mpg you can see the pic in my gallery!

Ive got several different numbers.. At 65mph average Ive gotten up to 24.2mpg.. at 75mph ive goten up to 22.1mpg... Average with City Driving im at 21.2 i believe... Life of the Truck, and I put a tank of E85 just for fun I am down to 18.1mpg... I can feel the difference in Power with the E85... but honestly the MPG dropps by almost 4mpg... so I think i will stick with 100% 87 or higher...

I'm getting around 17.5 - 90% flat highway driving at 76-78 mph cruise. 2in level kit, stock 275 tires, 3.42 gears

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
