Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
Lately I've been seeing a lot of newer Chevy/GMC 2500 trucks with the gas 6.0L engine for sale (both 2WD and 4WD). I was just curious, what is the approximate highway and city fuel mileage of these trucks? Can't seem to find any stats online...

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
My dad has the 1500, which may or may not be comparable, he gets about 16 city, rarely hits the highway.

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
I drove one at work for a few months and the best answer that I can give is: Poor
It got like 13-15 MPG on country roads going to field to field and occasionally running to town, so that would be mostly highway. It had 300K on it and ran like a champ, I wouldn't mind one simply because of the reliability. It also pulled well, though we didn't pull very heavy stuff with it.

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
Thanks for the replies, I figured it couldn't be too great, was just wondering how bad.

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
I had 2004, 2006 and 2008 2500 GMC crew cabs, all 4WD with the 6.0 liter engine.They pretty consistently ranged from 10-11 MPG around town and about 14-15 on the highway, empty. They were all very reliable and pulled well, just really thirsty. Put a load behind them and it drops dramatically.

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
^^
 My 03 1500HD 4x4 Crew with the 6.0 gets about 10-12 in town, and best it has got is 14.5 on an all interstate drive. I'm getting ready to take it and a trailer on a 4500 mile trip to Portland, WA and back the first week of January so I can give you some numbers from the trip. |

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
I have the 2500 suburban with the 6.0 and the average is 12.7 mpg. On highway trips I can get up to 16 if I really try.

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
Almost all mid to full size SUVs and trucks in the past 30 years with V8s will see 13-16mpg city with no load or light load (under 2000 lbs).

Re: Chevy/GMC 2500 Fuel Mileage
Yup, 11-12 is what I average with mixed city/highway/rural driving. That's why my next one will be a D-Max!
