2011 Silverado

[johnnymart610]

My 2011 Silverado 1500 Texas Edition. I opted for the 6.2 V8 but I went for the 5.3 because I couldn't afford the gas being a broke student and all! She's stock for now but I'm looking forward to adding a mild tune and maybe some transmission tuning but nothing too extreme because it's still a pickup. Oh and she's finally paid off

Funny how you say you had to take the 5.3 over the 6.2 because of the cost of buying gas... over here we drive 1.4 or 1.1 engines to get a decent mileage to the gallon because the prices for gas are absurd here!

Correct me if I'm wrong but is gas sold by the liter there? But yes I get around 22-23 mpg, not too bad for 5,700 lbs haha

Current gas prices here are around $3.25 lower than most of the country

Here in Holland
Euro 95 € 1.69 ltr (thats cheap)
Super + (98) € 1.77 ltr
Diesel € 1.38 ltr

[WizzyThaMan]

Yeah its in Liters and as Maurice said, 1.69 is cheap... 1.75 euro per liter is about the average.
I Always go to Belgium, where its like 1.47 - 1.53 euro per liter. (Euro 95)

You get better MPG than me... and I find it weird you get better MPG than my dad's truck (2011 Silverado Crew Cab with the 4.8L V8) and all his miles are highway. Amazing what the next gen pickups are going to do...

But yes I get around 22-23 mpg,

THATS TERRIBLE MILEAGE D:

^haha

Not for a full sized pickup truck that weighs in around 3 tons!

Well I believe those 4.8s don't come with the cylinder deactivation and variable cam timing like the 5.3 haha

Not for a truck!

Yep not bad, my 6.6 Duramax with the max tune gets 16mpg, if I switch to Economy(lol) it gets 21mpg. My Corolla gets 32mpg. BTW Thats a nice Chevy, up here we get the Cheyenne edition which looks similar.

being a broke student and all!

That truck must be a beast to insure, especially if you're student .

That's not too bad for a duramax, my dad's 2007.5 5.9 cummins can get 21-22 on the highway with the stock tune. Thank ya sir I didn't know y'all got the Cheyenne? I assumed it was only in Mexico.

Actually it's not that bad at all! My insurance company has a thing that if you send them your transcript and you're making good grades they give you a big discount.

Yep we got it up here too, and those Cummins are great engines, I had a 1999 Cummins before the duramax, hit 600,000kms before the rust killed her. If you missed my "Rides" thread heres my GMC
