I have a 2004 Z71 WBH. I'm just under 50k miles. I"m generally pretty good with regular maintenance (oil changes, air filter, etc...) I have General Tire Grabber AT2 (load range E) that I keep at 50psi...
I don't drive too crazy, I try to not jump on the gas too much, but I'm only averaging about 11mpg!!
Keep in mind that 98% of my driving is everyday stop and go, and I'm in south western PA so there's a ton of hills.
I've only had the truck since July and except for the tires I have not performed any upgrades / mods.
Any good, not too expensive suggestions for increased gas mileage? I know that the 5.3 engine is notorious for being tough on gas, but I feel like I should be getting at least 13-14mpg.
I LOVE my truck, but it's really taking a toll on my wallet, especially since my vehicle prior to this was a 4cyl Honda.
Thanks!!
