Hello,
Just curious as to what kind of mileage a DMax gets, with lets say more than 10,000 miles on the clock.

With 22k on the truck it seems to have more power and warms up faster. Winter blend will knock your MPG down a bit.

There's also no telling with the mileage will be like on the LMM; probably slightly better than the LB7's with the 5spd Alli, but maybe slightly worse than the current LBZ's because of the new emissions garbage.

My LB7 w/ ZF 6 speed gets around 20.5 on the highway. It isn't quite broken in yet, I'm getting ready to turn 170k miles! :)

If I'm driving strickly in town, making 5-7 mile trips and not letting the engine fully warm up, it goes down to around 17...

Love my truck! :D

Duramax mileage seems to be all over the place! I wish I could see mileage into the high teens. Low 20s would be awesome!!!

Overall the LB7s got the best mileage,seems to be downhill from there.If the LMM gets worse than the LBZ well whats the point.

I know this is a mileage thread, but the point would be the power for towing and hauling, longevity of the engine and increased resale value over a gas. I would love better economy, but I bought a diesel because I need a diesel and the benefits that it offers.

I got 20mpg on a 300 mile trip up to new york for work. I have 11500 miles on it. By the time I head home at the end of the week from starting it up for warm ups and back and forth to work, all red lights, it reads about 16mpg.
