do you guys think the new lmm will get as good of milage as the lbz? i kinda think it will be worse due to the extra emission stuff.

No one has a new 07 yet at all. Anyone that tells you they have a new 2007 LMM is BS'ing you.

Based on what Ive heard, Mialage should be pretty close to the exact same as the LBZ. There is a slight chance that it may go down 1 mpg or so, but Ive heard it both ways, that it may go up 1 MPG or so.

Another member from the DP site had said that he has test driven a new 2007 LMM because he works for GM. They did road tests with both the LBZ and the LMM, and he had said the LMM actaully got better MPG's that the LBZ.

SO based on all the different answers, it is best to be decided when they are out and more people have them in their hands when they can do real world tests.

As of right now, a correct answer to your question is hard to say since they are not availabe at all; not even for testing or dealers. Most answers will be speculation based mainly on opinion.

Withing the next month or two, more questions like these will be getting answered once main production has been started on the new LMM trucks.
