I know it's a totally different machine, but my Sierra had a 5.3 with the AFM on the highway and was an auto. I'd get around 18-20 on the highway, 13-14 in town.

I get anywheres from 13.5 - 16 mpg with 70 percent city and 30 percent highway and drivin very aggressive!!!
I have 5k miles on the clock!!

Highway mileage has been 23mpg....combined at 18.....stuck in traffic 14-15.

I haven't reset the average fuel mileage calculator for several thousand miles.
Probably 7 or 8 thousand miles since last reset.
So, this is a "real world" number

About 60% city stop n go, 40% Interstate
The average mpg reading is displaying 19.1

San2cci · 02-08-2013, 05:58 PM

I get 12.3mpg (stop and go all the time except occasional highway)

PalmerGA · 02-08-2013, 06:09 PM

I'm not sure how much the AFM system kicks in with non-highway driving. It supposedly only activates at "cruising speed" when there is limited power required. It wouldn't be active in stop-n-go traffic.

Jeffm · 02-08-2013, 06:14 PM

i avg 21 to 23.5 mpg with mine

Macfolk · 02-08-2013, 06:14 PM

13.5-15.6 on average. All city driving but down here in the flatlands.

Not true. It kicks in all the damn time, from 25 mph and up...which sucks.
