Actually I live in Phoenix.. which for the most part is really flat. We have well timed traffic lights which means that I don't have to stop every mile. I have a Intake, cat back, and diablo tuner. 27 is pushing it.. i routinely get 25

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.

And this is city, highway or mixed. Still hard for me to believe and I'm sure I'm not the only doubter on the forum, but hey who cares- it's your story.

about 5 miles highway, 10 city, I work nights so traffic is light and I can drive live an old man. Before my mods I was getting around 22mpg

As for a story.. well I don't care if you believe it or not.

And that is the beauty of the internet. As far as not believing you, I can guarantee that there will be many more who agree with me.

 

It's your credibility, you had 6 posts when you uploaded that pic of your mileage, but the "over how many miles" was cropped out. Really doh_smilie_zps01d873f4.gif

 

Is your truck a hybrid?

So I was a bit of a lurker when I first joined the forum.. And what would I have to gain by posting proof of me getting good gas milage? I assumed everyone was around 20-22MPG..

And no not a hybrid, I didn't think they made those for 2014?

I have a 2014 Silverado LT 5.3, Magnaflow Catback, aFe dry intake, and a Diablo tuner in MPG mode... That combined with not driving like someone from Oklahoma and apparently I get above average milage.

From Oklahoma, Hmm.... that was a real adult comment. I'm not from Oklahoma, but I do live here.

 

If you posted 20-22, that's believable. Not 27.

i have 2700 miles, i was consistantly between 19 and 22 from sept till mid november, then the cold weather hit.. from between 12 deg and 35deg F, between the additional warm up and i would assume a richer map when its that cold and dry im now in the 15-19 range, not a huge deal just all part of winter time

I believe him for a 25 mile average. My best 25 mile average is 29.4, that was on a flat highway with cruise control @ 58mph. I generally get around 17-18 though, even less now that it's cold and I'm using remote start.

Over 25 miles is believable, but not over the span of a tank of fuel.

Winter Gas will drop your milage by 2 or 3 MPG.

I don't know for sure if they sell winter gas anymore, but I do know that every winter my milage drops on everything I drive to include my Harley.

 

In Colorado, (where I'm from) They used to add MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl ether)every winter to the gas. it was designed to reduce carbon monoxide emissions during the winter months. Not sure if they still do it, but your MPG was drastically effected.

I think so. I think most of my gas mileage takes a shit in the winter due to remote start and a short 4 mile drive to work.

i know MTBE is not legal in new youk anymore for on road or off road fuel, i used to run race gas in my 250f back on 04 and the formula had to be changed to be MTBE free in NY

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
