Made a trip to Paducah, KY 2 weeks ago for a retriever event. 1100+miles from my place in South-central NoDak. 2500+miles roundtrip in less than 2 weeks.

These 2 photos are after filling up in Aberdeen, SD and driving 1/2 tank....................

Wound up averaging just under 23mpg for the tank and got 667+ miles on the tank.

I should mention that I did have a 25-30mph NNW wind behind me a good chunk of the way. Milage dropped when I had to go straight East in Missouri, and the wind more of a crosswind vs. behind. Not complaining at all. Drove truck at 70-72mph.

Also rolled 260k on the clock on the homeward bound trip.

  I'd go right back to the dealer. If I didn't get satisfaction there, I'd go to a different one. If not there, I'd contact GM. It's under warranty. It's their issue to fix.

  A lot of people also forget the old 6spd was pretty good at the torque converter snout wearing into the front of the trans case. Pretty common issue. 6spd was not a perfect trans by any means.

- Oil Consumption
  
  By Grumpy Bear · Posted 5 hours ago
  
  Third time. Some consumption is 'masked' by fuel dilution, soot formation, acid formation of blowby gasses. Oil consumed offset by degradation products produced. 2 to 8% How much is that of your sump volume? for Pepper that is 4 ounces to a pint of oil. Why is everyone aware that we check transmission fluids at operating temperatures due to thermal expansion and ignorant or at least dismissive about this issue for the engine oil? Ever allow a motor to drain at oil change for a period of 'overnight"? Measure on the dipstick every quarter hour for say 2 hours and educate yourself. Then let is sit overnight (cooler) and ask the expansion and dilution questions again. 😉
- Gas Prices

  $3.93 for 87 octane. $4.73 for 93 octane. $4.70ish for diesel. But a short drive can see prices swings as high as $5.30's still.
