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.

I currently own a 2004 chev, 1500 ext. cab, with the 5.3 vortec. i get about a 19.3 mpg on highway at 75 mph.
I also own a 2006 chev, 1500 crew cab with a 5.3 vortec. i get about 19 on highway. i am impressed with the fuel economy.

I just purchased 2000 chevy suburban from my daughter with 198,000 miles 5.3 vortec engine in 6/08. I left Atlanta, Ga. headed back Cols., Ohio. We stopped just outside Lexington, Ky about 400 mi. with 1/4 of a tank left. It has a 32 gal. tank I calculate we got about 19 to 20 mpg. That’s too bad for an old girl, we call her Ms. Gi Gi…… and this no ghost story……………………..

@Thom – Sounds like you want to determine fuel costs for the trip. Best bet is to go to maps.google.com and get a rough estimate of the distance (Phoenix to Detroit is over 2,000 miles), then divide that by your Dually’s average highway mileage and multiply by an average price per gallon.
