Just bought a 2012 Silverado. I got the LS..it's all I could afford, back off. I'm pretty happy with it so far. The listed MPG is 19 on the highway. They said I would probably get better than 19. It looks like the LTs get a little better probably because of the 6 speed tranny compared to the 4 speed in the LS. Thoughts?

You should remove the "i got the LS" and this statement is gold.

I have yet to get the rated mpg in any vehicle I've driven. Not even close actually. My truck supposedly gets 21 highway. I got 18-19 once, with cruise control on 70 on interstate for the entire tank. Supposed to get like 18 city, I can't get more than 13 or 14 around town.

Congrats man! I have a 2011 Silverado LT and it averages 14-15 in the city... I like it and didn't buy it for the gas mileage.

Not sure how much improvement has been done to fuel mileage in 4 years but I have an '08 Z71 that said 18-19 on the sticker...my average since I bought it...or at least what it tells me is...15.7 Posted on 6/1/12 at 1:23 pm to trebmalenad
I have an 04 z71 and get 17 to 18 as long as I don't get over 75

It's more related to the engine than the trim line. if you got the 5.3 or up you have the 6 speed, 4.8 or v6 and you got the 4 speed. I prefer the 6, some that trailer dont like it, but I tow at least 5k a year and it suits me just fine. Mileage is around 15-19 for either trans, non towing
