2024 Z71 mpg .. can it be this bad?

[carsenault300]

We just bought a new 2024 Z71 last weekend, and boy does the mpg really suck compared to the 2022 RST we traded in.

Anybody else experiencing similar results? I’m barely getting 12-13 in the city, and I can watch the average drop while sitting in the car with it running for just 10-15 minutes.

Both old and new have the 5.3L

Maybe engine break in period?

like I tell everyone, it all depends on how much you push the big pedal

One week in, not driving it any different than the previous model.

We were able to get 20-22 on highway trips and averaged ~17 around town.

For now it’s just wait and see I guess.
