2016 Silverado Mileage

Posted

Have put 2 tanks of fuel thru my 2016 Silverado 4x4, with the 5.3GDI, 6speed auto now.  First tank netted an even 19mpg (hand calculated..........overhead read 19.4) driving strictly in M5 to shut out 6th gear and avoid it going into V4 mode.  This tank also included about 40 or so miles of towing my work trailer.

 

Second tank netted me 22.2mpg (overhead reading 22.7) also driving strictly in M5 again.  No trailer towing on this tank.

 

Pretty nice so far.

Running the switch and range today on the highway, no codes/issues and stays in v8 mode! We’ll see if running in 6th gear gains me some mpgs.
