Re: a newer Chevy 8.1L

My shop teacher has an '06 K2500 with the 8.1 and a 6 speed. His had some tuning done and some other odds and ends (cold air intake, etc.). He claims he can get like 16-17 mpg highway and about 12 city if he babies it. It's also pretty quick if you get on it. He had nothing but good things to say. And for all the confusion about Liters and Cubic Inches, just multiply the liters by 61 to get cubic inches. A 6.0 = 366 C.I.D.
