2002 Chevy 2500 HD Quad Cab
Diesel
6.6L
Allison (auto)

4x4
22 mpg
17 towing
I have a quadzilla tuner on my truck, Quadzilla air intake system and 5" exhaust all the way through. I was getting about 18 and 14 before I had all this installed. And I am sure I get much better mileage if I would keep from racing and stomping on it. I just have a lead foot.

2000 Dodge 3/4 ton Cummins diesel engine w/5sp manual and 3.55 gears. Bumped the timing up and injectors. Limited slip and 2WD. Sounds like a truck all the time.
Average mpg:17.5
would be better but my ride to work is only 3 miles one way and a number of stop signs/lights. No speed over 40....ok I cheat that just a little.
Hwy mpg:21
has gotten 23 on a long trip but its only been under 20 when I was driving over 80 and a full load of passengers/luggage.
Towing: 17.5
a light weight boat.....my name gives me away. My Ranger 518 was about 1/2 mpg less.
After reading through several dozen mileage threads on diesels for the last several years, I would call some posted here fudgers.

Mine's an itty-bitty in comparison: 2000 Ford Explorer, 4.0 SOHC V6, automatic, 3.55 rear-end, 2WD Normal city mileage approx 17-18mpg Normal highway mileage approx 21-22mpg Towing mileage approx 14-16mpg, but I'm not hauling a huge boat - just an 18' CC. Best feature is the car loan - there is none, as it's PAID FOR!
