Decent fuel mileage for 6.2 this was with down town driving with several red light's, running as fast as 75 mph with cruise control on. Also best 1/8 time with slip.

Nice. Looks like it should be 13.6/7 for a 1/4 mile as long as the governor doesn't hurt you. Surprised i have not seen any performance threads on these new 6.2 trucks. I have been wondering what kind

Trivia: '83 6.2s with-the-Early-Heads got similar mileage.  No governor but I suspect lower gearing - I have never taken mine over maybe 70mph, though it will go faster.  Later 6.2s of that era d

Wasnt sure which tire set up you had. Some have tires rated lower and so the governor is only 98 mph. Mine goes to 114 too.

It all depends on the tire speed rating that truck was born with.

I would love to see this thread blow up with 6.2 times. I should go run mine.

I assume this is a top gear limiter like in other vehicles?  In other words, 112 mph in 10th gear.  So you could downshift and go faster (at least that is how it worked in the 5th Gen Camaros).  Thus it also wouldn't affect 1/4 mile.

That is interesting. I have never heard off that. I kinda doubt it because anytime i have hit a limiter it has not been in top gear. Its restricted based on tire ratings so i don't think the gear has any role in the limiter. On a camaro that could he completely different since the tires are probably rated for more than the car will do.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
