Normal. If you are worried about mileage, you bought the wrong vehicle.

HERE'S MY MPG SINCE NEW. OVERALL AVG IS ABOUT 14.5. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I DIDN'T BUY IT FOR THE FUEL SAVINGS.

# DATE MILES GALLONS MPG GAS PRICE STREET/HWY MIX.

I find so many factors affect mileage. My best of 19mpg was achieved running from 70 to 80 mph on interstate 35 from the Cedar Park to the south side of San Antonio. I also got awesome mileage driving in a winter storm from New Mexico to Breckenridge, Colorado.

Having seen the EPA estimates on the window sticker before purchase and knowing it has a 6.2L V8 my expectations were low for mpg

is that fuelly?

Yes, it is. Been using the app for many years and most of my vehicles.

Interesting, because I use Fuelly too, and don't see where you're getting that kind of format/graphics.

This is me: https://www.fuelly.com/car/chevrolet/silverado_1500/2023/slicer/1243012

edit: how do you also notate when you're towing in fuelly? the recent fillup was so poor because I was towing for the entire tank.

Interesting, are you using android or Apple? I’m using Apple version.

You can add notes on each fuel fill up at the bottom on the fill up screen.

Mine only has 3700 miles on it but I’m impressed with the mileage over my F150. I’m constantly getting 17-18 city and 19-21 highway

Do you know about the paddle shifters and tow haul mode? I can help you get that average down to closer to 12 mpg.

5.3L.....is that considered a big 6??

 

[scubatech]

Mine did a lot better after about 2500 miles. I was getting about the same mileage as your Trail Boss. I'm in a high altitude area so I likely get a little better fuel mileage due to the maps leaning out some.
