ive been testing 93 octane in my 6.2 however i'm seeing terrible mpg. i do all city driving, and its around 13.9 and has brought my lifetime down to like 14 or 15.

are you the first one to take off from a red light? If so that's why the mileage is so bad.

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.

Mine gets pretty bad mileage at 180 mph. Maybe I should get a bed cover.

This was taken last week when I filled up. So far I have put this many miles on the truck. Hopefully it stays like this. We will see.

You can't just blame driving style. I had a 5.3 with 3.08 gears and my lifetime over 9000 miles was 14mpg. I would drive with the full intention of getting the best fuel economy possible, but it just wouldn't do it. It did have some good moments here and there, but when I went to a diesel 2500 I broke all my mpg records from that 1500.

 

It's a shitty problem to have because the dealers won't help out because it's easy to blame driving style.

I drive on the hard side and don't speed, don't need to in Texas speed limits are high. Im most often first to leave the light, my lifetime average on E85 and some 93 is 16 MPH. Most would be in town.

Not sure how yours was so low. Did you keep the tires properly inflated and all the other jazz that they say is necessary for good mileage? My 5.3 3.42 4x4 CCSB has had great mileage. My lifetime is 16 mpg. With about 85% of that being city and 15% highway. And about 20% of my overall has been with a lead foot cause it's nice to hear the exhaust!

Tires were fine and I was 70 percent hwy. I towed a 6x12 enclosed trailer once for 100 miles and got 6mpg.

Man I don't know what some of you are doing to get such low numbers.

 

DIC shows almost 20mpg, 25 mile average shows 26mpg, 50 mile average shows 22mpg, 400 mile average shows almost 20mpg. My hand calculated mileage shows anywhere from 18.75-20.5mpg on my weekly commute.

That's about spot on what I am seeing with my 6.2. It has settled into 18-19 on my normal weekly driving and if I can get out on the freeway for any amount of time it puts me at 20-21mpg.

EPA sticker on mine said 21 hwy. but I've seen 22-23 cruising between 70-75MPH (not drafting btw, but when I do I get 25MPG). City I can get 16MPG if I play it easy.

 

I've got right around 4600 miles on the truck. CCSB 4x4 with factory wrangler street tires. 275/55/20 5.3L with 3.42 gears.

 

 

Mine used to get around 18-19 mpg hwy. when I bought the truck I got 15-17 on the hwy drive home. But mileage seems to be getting better with more miles.

      Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.

      2004 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Ignition issues

      By Heath · Posted

      I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
