Bone stock 2012 Duramax crew cab 2500 averages 19 at 70 mph, haven't pulled anything yet.
2005 Duramax regular cab 2500 with 4" exhaust, BullyDog triple dog downloader and 33x12.50 18s is around 17 on the highway and 10-11 pulling a camper or buggy.
The programmer put back the mileage I lost from upsizing the tires. Maybe 2-3 mpg gain.

Thats pretty good. Is it 2wd or 4wd? Gears? That 6speed helps. I got a 06 2500 QC 5.9 Auto w/ 3.73s and 37's, 5" exhaust, and en Edge programmer. I drive 75-80mph unloaded, down the highway most of the time. Got 180K on it and mileage numbers for every ounce of fuel ive put in it since ive owned it. Gets 12-14 90% of the time; doesnt matter if the programmer has it on economy or blowing smoke. Gets down to the 10's if I'm pulling 7-10k on the highway.

Ibthink it's got 3.73 and it's 4wd

2005 4x4 Duramax, 285 nitto highway terrain, egr block, straight pipe turbo back, superchips with 90hp max tune. I run it on tow (20ish HP) 95% of the time. Almost every unloaded tank I get an average of 16mpg, loaded 10-12. Last summer i went on a trip out west and put it on highest tune and squeeked 21 from it 4 times. Which was 65-75mph non stop from gas station to gas station. It's a base model so I don't have the mpg display in the truck. I do it on calculator on phone.

The programmers really don't help that much with fuel millage other than fix the speedo.

If you have 35's and haven't fixed the speedo your getting way better fuel millage than you think.

I have 37's on mine and reset speedo and cleared my gps and on one trip showed about 20 more miles on the gps. :****:

2005 Ram quad cab CTD 2wd, 3.73. All stock, ~70k miles now.

15-17 around town depending how hard I drive it. 19 on the highway @80, 20 @70 or lower. Loaded gooseneck and 2 rigs gets about 9 @80.

Best tank ever was 21.5mpg but that was a slow trip on the highway (when fuel was $4.50/gal) followed by a week of slow driving on an island w/ a 30mph max speed limit.

zjtrey · Apr 10, 2012

i get the feeling that this thread is geared toward the diesel guys but i'll join in for fun..

I tow with my 07 5.7l Tundra. Daily driving i get between 16 &18 mpg, my truck doesn't have the calculator and bs built in so I calculate each tank.. Towing my rig i get about 10mpg whether I'm easy on it or I'm climbing hills with my foot buried. I've been very impress with this trucks ability to tow/stop and keep up with my buddies in diesels :****:

If your not calculating milage by hand you shouldn't even waste your time posting up

Mine- '05 F350 w/ 18 wheeler wheels/ tires (speedo is recalibrated) and tuner set on econ/performance gets around 13 around town, 15-16 on the hwy going 70 and 11-12 pulling a rig or the camper
