@MrD..i would check to see if you have any problems with o2 sensor or the fuel pump..something just doesn’t seem like its working right when your getting numbers like that a tank

@MrD – There are no silver bullets, unfortunately.

The best bet is to adopt a light-footed driving style. The feedback provided by an aftermarket fuel-efficiency gauge like the ScanGauge II or Auto Meter EcoMeter can help you learn when and how you can lighten your foot.

You don’t have to drive like a granny, but you do need to make some changes … every time you stomp on that pedal, you’re pouring a bucket of liquid money. The trick is to find the right balance …

I have a 2008 3500HD Crewcab Dually the mileage unloaded is 20.1 l/100km (11MPG US) and loaded is 21.7 l/100 KM (13 MPG US). The Diesel Particulate Filter burns more fuel when the truck is loaded to keep the emissions down. I have had 2 previous diesels and this is the first one that does not stink of like a diesel when you are standing next to it.
The power of the 6.6 duromax is amazing 365 HP & 660 Torque which still gives me power to accelerate up a 7.0% grade with 6 ton GVW load at 100 km.

The new Silverado as well as F150 and Ram are huge dissapointments as far as MPG. I have a 90 Sierra with the 4.3L and 700r4 and posi axle 3.42 and get 23mpg regularly on hwy. Plus although all the trucks are now longer than a school bus, they don’t even offer a regular cab with a real short box deluxe trim with a six cylinder and hwy gears.
Not everyone wants the work truck stripped versin or a regular long wheelbase. For over 3 decades the short box regular cabs were the hottest item on every used car lot in America. Now they aren’t even made! The push to 4 door behemouths is OK for those who need them, but most don’t. The economy price is too high. Room inside the cab has decreased drastically. Bring back a real bench seat and provide headroom again for entering and exiting with a hat on your head. Americans aren’t short and we need headroom for all us over 6′ guys.
