Wow, guys. Those numbers seem low. I keep a fuel and maintenance log. I calculate by hand in addition to checking the DIC. I average 15.6 m.p.g. around town and will get 20-20.3 on purely Interstate driving.

My truck is an ext. cab. 4x2 with the 4.8/3.23/4-spd. drivetrain. It is a 2008 LS 1/2-ton Silverado. I love it!

I will admit that I do get the best m.p.g. between 60-70 m.p.h. and don't get caught in much stop and go driving. Plus, things are pretty flat around the Tidewater area here.
