I've searched the forum, but only found a comment here and there for an unaltered, stock engine with all emissions equipment. I was wondering if some people could share their city and highway mileages (and speed on highway) unloaded. I checked Consumer Reports, and their mileages for the Silverado 2500 Duramax were 9 and 21 (no speeds given).
When my truck was stock it was consistently 15 mpg all around driving

I am getting around 14 in town and 17 on the highway. Everything is stock, for now. Oh, and I drive 70mph on the highway and there is about 15k on the clock so she is not broken in yet.
