So after reading all the terrible mileage questions and answers about the 6.2 I did a trip yesterday from northern NV to Scottsdale AZ and I ended up with a mileage or 20.9 after 721.4 miles at a average speed of 70 on the computer, a lot of the drive was in the low to mid 80 mph. Is this normal with a 6.2 ? Or did I just get lucky. I am running premium fuel as recommended. Stock wheels and tires. My brother gets this mileage in his 5.3 RST but I didn’t think the 6.2 would.

I’m in the same boat. I just drove to Kingman, AZ from the middle of CO. From Grand Junction to Moab my top MPG was 22.8 on my dash at around 70-75 mph. Average I would say for the whole trip was around 19-20 mpg. Running premium fuel as well. Did notice when you run 80 or more the mpg dropped to around 17, but no surprise there. Not upset and gonna keep my eye on the mpg’s!So after reading all the terrible mileage questions and answers about the 6.2 I did a trip yesterday from northern NV to Scottsdale AZ and I ended up with a mileage or 20.9 after 721.4 miles at a average speed of 70 on the computer, a lot of the drive was in the low to mid 80 mph.

I have Trip 2 as when I bought the truck (delivered with 6 miles on it) and will not reset it so I can see the overall fuel mileage. With 8000 miles on my 2024 6.6 Gas I am at 12.5 average. Trip 1 is the one I reset every fill up.My 24 GMC 6.6L gas motor gets absolutely horrible gas mileage..like 10 to 12.…I’m not complaining to much. I just thought it would be a little better, but for 76.5K sticker I feel sorry for the guy who didn’t put down at least half because you will go thru some gas in this thing.
I just picked up my 6.6 HD AT4 and have gone thru 2 tanks of gas. I knew it would not be good mileage but surprised that 12 mpg is what I have been getting and I'm very easy on the throttle. I like everything else about the truck, just figured I could get at least 15mpg out of it?I have Trip 2 as when I bought the truck (delivered with 6 miles on it) and will not reset it so I can see the overall fuel mileage.

But when just going to work I'm around 14-15, in traffic or in town will be 12-13. Straight fwy cruising I've seen 19, but on average 15-18. My 2018 Duramax was at 16.7 for the last 15,000 miles that I owned it. I am noticing about 3-4 mpg less for the 6.6 gas compared to the diesel. Having said that even if I spend another $100 per month in fuel, which I don't...it would take over 8 years to recoup the $10K upcharge for the diesel.
Luckily my new one should be paid for in a year...but like you said if you put the minimum down the wallet might hurt at the pump, but it is still cheaper than the diesel.
Unless you are towing 20K weekly or have some GIGANTIC trailer, for a lot of people the diesel won't make sense.
I ditched the diesel and went back to gas and it tows my setup as well as my diesel did. But I have a light set up, maybe 5k loaded.
I read on another thread that after 20K miles or so it will get better. I guess that is the break in period.I just picked up my 6.6 HD AT4 and have gone thru 2 tanks of gas.
