Default Silverado report

Some folks were interested in the mileage I got in the Silverado with the Duramax diesel engine.
This past week I drove it to Winston-Salem, NC, and back, a distance of about 650 miles. This time I
wasn't towing anything. The truck got 21.6 mpg for the whole trip. Not bad. I was surprised. Shoot,
that's as good as I was getting in the 4Runner.


My 90 mercury wagon will get aprox 23 ont he road, unless I'm pulling
my 18 ft boat, then that 302 squats to the tune of about 14 mpg, when
pulling the 23 ftr. I think I might get 10, and that's running at 50
mph out of overdrive and watching the temp guage.
