I have a 2019 AT4 with 6.2L 20" rims everything stock.  Truck is terrible on fuel.  12-14 mpg.  My 2016 1500 Denali with 6.2L beats it by 10 mpg easily.  Very very disappointed with the fuel mileage of this truck.  38,000 km on this truck.  

Will be looking at getting rid of this truck in the next 6 months.

What kind of driving do you do? Mine is brand new with 160 miles on it and I got 18 mpg doing 65 the other day.

This is exactly why I just dumped my 19 6.2L for a 20 3L diesel ...

 

Insanely bad mileage - especially with all the gimmicky crap they added for fuel management.

I normally drive at 77 mph but when i do my mileage tests i set it at 62 mph, same as i would do with my 16 Denali.  What makes it even worse is these ****** ass small gas tanks as was mentioned earlier.  I cant even get close 300 miles to a tank.  Brutal!

 

I had a 2018 2500 LTZ Night edition truck last, even though it rode like a railway tie and had crappy zip to it, its gas mileage was comparable to my AT4 but, it had the large tank.  Beauty.

At 10,000 miles with only using premium fuel, 275/65r20 BFG KO2’s, and a 1 inch motofab level, I’m getting 18.2 mpg lifetime. Very happy with my truck.

2020 6.2L denali with 10 speed, tonneau cover. 

 

Going 120 on highway i get 10-11L/100km. i almost always got that mileage.

 

Towing a 4000lb enclosed trailer, i was showing 20-22L/100km towing.

 

Lifted will make a big difference.

Damn envious of many of you.  Wonder why the big difference between vehicles?  I was hoping this truck would impress me.  The 6.2 in my denali did.  I was lured to the dark Ram side again and resisted but am not overly pleased with this truck.

 I have a 2019 6.5’ bed, CC, 6.2, NHT (3.42 rear end).  Drove Cincinnati to Charlotte and back: upper 70 mph range

always run 93 octane from Walmart/ Sam’s

truck is getting close to 20k miles

truck seems to finally start getting good mileage after 10k on the odometer.

autostarts kill the number as well.

Mine hasn't reached the "broken in" miles either. Mostly driven around town I've been getting around 15mpg. I manually track each fill up with the fuelly app. About what I expected with it. I did not purchase the truck with good mpg in mind... :)

I use Fuelly too and even went a step further by verifying that my odometer tracks mileage correctly.

I’m coming from a leveled F250 with the 6.7 that got about 10 in town and 13 on the highway so anything better than that is a win in my book!

I use my truck as a daily and road trips. This truck is gonna cost me way more than my F150 or Ram, so much more I could trade it on for a loss and come out on top in the end. I'm going to wait till end of summer and see if it improves.

91 is very expensive here, cost me an extra $30 per tank to fill on 91 vs 87

Well there’s your issue. GM recommends 93 for the best performance/fuel economy.

They all say that and its mostly bull.

My F150 EcoBoost recommended 91 but 87 was ok blah blah... I tried it on 87 and noticed no difference so kept using 87. I wasted money for months putting 91 in the stupid thing. 93 isnt even available in canada and only a few stations have 94, about 4 fuel stations of 20 in my area have 94 available, many areas only have 91.

Now my Jeep SRT8 minimum requirement is 91, so I use exactly that at least 91 or 94 if I'm near a station with it. Right now my Jeep 6.4 hemi is getting better fuel economy than my truck which is odd.. so Is my power wagon that's a 3/4 ton 6.4. I'm starting to miss my diesel now but at least this truck is warm in the winter and my oil changes are free.

Why would you buy a truck with a 6.2L expecting good mileage? It’s meant to pull stumps basically and move heavier stuff. If it does that for you and gets over 12mpg, you’re doing good. My 2003 2500 with the 6.0L that I had years ago was LUCKY to hit 10mpg. I think it got 7mpg average when I hauled my Camaro to Road America years ago.

The real tale of the tape is when you have the DIC showing your mileage over 400 miles. The 25 and 50 mile range can fluctuate greatly just from one hard acceleration on an on ramp.

My 5.3L is doing just dandy in my AT4. I’m actually impressed at the mileage since it’s lifted and such. I suspect it will do better as I drive it more. May switch it to 89 octane since my last few GM vehicles got better mileage on 89.

You’re free to use whatever octane you want BUT you’re the one (using 91) who’s getting bad fuel economy versus me (using 93) so....

Maybe try a tankful for funsies...

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
