gas mileage
I recently bought a 2002 Silverado 2500, I am getting about 11.5mpg, my question to guys with a 2500 is: Is this normal mileage? I am not expecting 20mpg or anything crazy but just looking for some input.

I'll have to see if I have any on my home computer tonight. I had A/T BFG's on the truck, but just bought the new Toyo Open Country M/T's and they look awesome. I have heard nothing but good things about this tire.

I have a '00 2500 with a 6.0 and a 6" lift with 35" tires and get ~10MPG. I can get 12MPG if it's straight highway miles.

Has anybody had success improving their MPG with things like the Hypertech Econ or even a Tonneau Cover? This $4.50/gallon is killing me!

MPG Improvement[/b]
Run tire pressure 3-4 psi over std.
Change all drive line systems to synthetic oils
Add K&N air filter or one similar for better air flow
Give it a complete tune up using all AC Delco parts
Add 1 can of seafoam fuel cleaner to tank on the next two fillups.
Drive it like your sainted grandmother would drive it, slow starts, no run and gun.
For every 5 mph over 55 mph you start losing about 1 mpg.
It takes fuel to move heavy iron, it takes even more fuel to move heavy iron fast.
Good luck and stay safe,
I am seeing more seat time on my motorcycle.
