14 around town. Don't know what it gets on the highway without anything in tow, as I just don't drive it on the highway unless I am towing.


The ole 6.0s .... the mpg of a BB with the power of a 5.3.

All that changed when they went to direct injection, the 5.3 and 6.2 get roughly the same mpgs albeit you should run premium in a 6.2 with the 11.1:1 compression. Ive owned several of the new 5.3 and 6.2s and can vouch for the mpg claim. The power difference is amazing and I will never go back to a 5.3.
