Fuel Economy Update for June ? Another 2,000 Miles, Lifetime Average Holds Steady - 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Long-Term Road Test

We put 1,969 miles our long-term 2015 Chevrolet Colorado in June, and although our mileage was solid for the month, our lifetime average is not even close to the EPA's combined fuel economy rating.

Read the full story here

reminder

My lifetime average with only 4,500 on the clock is 19.
That's without taking any highway trips over 20 miles.
Not great, but closer to the combined rating.
Oh and that's including last February when we set a record for the number of days in the single digits.
Not exactly the best situation for MPG.

What are the details of your truck? Engine, drivetrain, cab/bed length, etc.

reminder

Mine is: Z71, auto, 6 cylinder, long bed.

Still makes me wonder what this truck could do with the Silverado's drivetrain in it.

You guys must have a heavy foot. I'm at just over 21 MPG lifetime 12,000 miles (V6, Crew Cab, Long Box, 4X4) and I've seen improvement every month since getting out of winter. Recently averaged 29.6 MPG over a 100 mile span on a recent road trip.

are your mpg numbers calculated manually, or are you using the numbers on the dash. as of today my numbers are a little worse then the computer calculates by 1/2 to 1.25 mpg on my individual trip meter. so if those are off, then the lifetime number could be even more off. showing alot better then reality.
