Short little trips can leave me with a 16 or 17 mpg on the gage, but it always averages out to about 12 mpg, so

These can’t be HD numbers?!

 

Sure they can.

 

Mine are better than that. 

34.1

29.8

24.4

Yes, that set was in the mountains and I don't expect a repeat.

 

Any day when its' not windy I can take you on a drive on a flat ground out-and-back trip and get the average at or above 25.  Even on winter fuel.

 

But that's at 55-60 mph, not at 75-80.

My 2015 WT1 doesn't have a resettable at those increments. Only a resettable tank average. Often over 33 mpg. It lies. 

 

Hand calculated: 

 

Over the trucks 107,000 miles the average miles driven per tank has been 391 miles. Average fuel load has been 14.2 gallons.

So 27.57 mpg life time. 1 standard deviation is about 2.25 mpg for a range of 25.25 to 29.75 mpg lifetime. Best single tank of a least 400 miles has been 33 mpg and worst about 23 mpg. For only the summer months of 2019 (180 days) it averaged 30.15 mpg.

Yeah, you quoted me last month saying the same thing. I didn’t reply because I wasn’t buying it then & I’m still not buying it now. [emoji3]

 

I guess if you’re coasting down the mountains it’s possible...

When you spend $60K, you think everyone is gonna stomp on the pedal all day long, day in and day out? Nor does anyone put their truck on blocks and runs it for 400 miles. Believe what you want, it's not like anyone is getting a f'n ribbon in the mail for their MPG.
Only Ford sends out second place ribbons from what I heard.

18.4 on the 50 mile average.  75 mile commute to work, flat, 2 lane roads.  I can usually hit between 16-17 pretty regularly.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
