my 5.3L Sierra gets 9L/100km all day long.  30mpg.  gets the same mileage as the neighbours civic.  


not sure why people think V8s are so inefficient.  I drive it hard too.

I do wish the jeep was better. it only gets about 25MPG.  35s, 4.10s 4 door rubicon.  

dang, my 2010 6.0L GMC 2500 gets 16L/100km, I'm not sure what year the 4cyl activation came in on the GMC's I think it might have been 2012 or so, makes huge difference. My dads 2015 ram 1500 5.7 hemi gets around 12L/100km

It will. I was getting 11.5L/100 highway on my truck. Just turned 5000 on the odometer.... getting 10.0L/100 on the same stretch of highway.

But you drive like an old granny :P ;)

Johnny I think your 5.3 is probably stuck running on 4cyl if its getting 30 mpg  with a heavy foot.

My Jeep 4.0 2004 TJ on 35" tires, 4.88 gears 5 spd manual, gets about 300 km to gas light.....I have roughly 50 litres? to gas light so I get.....16.7L/per 100Km or about 14 mpg. Clean air filter decent pressure etc. Mixed driving.

Rating by the U.S. Gov (Canadian ratings are way to optimistic) for my Jeep is 14 city 18 highway mpg

Civic will do 6.5-7.0 L/per 100kms mixed driving 35 mpg

Dodge 6.7 dpf delete 13.0L/ per 100kms average mixed driving (no heavy city) 18 mpg


ya I was being sarcastic and wasn't picked up well I guess.  the 5.3 gets 15L/100km.   

the jeep is worse.
~ rescue green JKUR on 35s.  typical rubicon build
