2017 Silverado LS DC 2x4 5.3 4.42. 2600 miles. Been averaging 21-23.5 unloaded and 12-13.5 towing my race car (around 5,000 pounds car and trailer). Couldn't be happier

609 miles on odometer (about 200 hwy, 400 city) & DIC shows 16 MPG average (that's with AT tires, level, & front air dam removed)

I get about 18 with 6.5 lift and on 26s

Just got back from a trip from San Antonio, TX to Clearwater, FL and I averaged 20 mpg with an average speed between 70 and 80. 2wd 5.3 with AFE intake, 20" wheels set at 38psi

6.2 8spd gets consistently over 20 MPG for around 17,000 miles

 

A lot of remote starts and probably 50% city driving, plus a LEAD FOOTED driver LOL. Could probably get over 30 MPG if I was a hypermilling type of guy......... Here is a video of my standard takeoff!

I drive 55.5 miles daily from my driveway to work, and about 40 of that is interstate cruise control set to 74MPH. DIC readout is a 22.X MPG. Manual calculation at fill up is always 2.X mpg less. Don't get carried away with the DIC readout on any vehicle. The same week I purchased my truck I made a trip to AL from TN, a 4 1/2 hr trip. Got as high as 25.X from DIC readout lol. Looked good, and was close with manual calculations. Mountains in TN kept the numbers going down.

I get 15.5 -16.5 around town without my Range device. Worst with it.

Took a 7 hour trip up to Kansas last week. 20.9 going up without the Range device, 18.6 coming back with the Range device. Wind wasn't a factor.

 

Stock '14 LTZ CC w/5.3L 4X4 and I've removed the rear spacer blocks. No toneau.

Over 70k miles. Solid average is 13.5

Has a lift but stock sized tires currently. Have 11k on stock sized tires and I get about 13.5 -14mpg

I just hit the 20k mile mark and owned the truck for 3 years tomorrow. My lifetime (hand calculated) mpg is 19.2. Last 2 years the air dam has been off but everything else stock. It appears the air dam cost me about 0.2mpg but I don't do a lot of interstate driving so my results may be different than somebody else who does.

6.2/6 speed on 33s gets 16-18 hwy depending on how fast i go...loaded down this weekend with 18' pipe trailer and 2 four wheelers and a lifted side x side with coolers and gear in the bed of the truck got 11 consistently doin 70mph in hill country. Has LT's, afe intake, dyno tune

90000 miles on the truck. I bought it at 42k and this shows how many miles I have put on the truck since I got it. Pretty happy with those numbers, for a full size truck.

90000 MPG

I just completed a 400 mile round trip covering I-99/Rt 15 in NY/PA. My truck averaged 23 MPG during the trip. The road is very hilly. My '13 on the same trip would average 20 MPG.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • 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?
