Definitely! Smooth acceleration and deceleration can really make a difference. Also, keeping the truck well-maintained is key.

Has anyone tried off-roading with the 2024 Silverado 2500? What kind of impact does that have on MPG?

23

Off-road driving is a MPG killer! I found it can drop to around 8-10 MPG depending on the terrain.

24

I love the Silverado, but the fuel efficiency is a hot topic! Why can’t we have it all - power and efficiency?

Right? It seems like a trade-off. You either get a beast or a fuel sipper—but not both!

I heard that adding a tuner can help with MPG. Has anyone had success with that?

I’ve done it! It provided a slight boost in highway MPG, but not a major difference. Still worth considering if you want to tweak performance.

A little humor to lighten the mood: I feel like I need a personal trainer for my driving habits to get better MPG from my Silverado! Anyone else?

Haha! Right? Maybe I should install a fuel efficiency coach in my truck!

I’ve been driving my 2024 Silverado 2500 for a few months now, and the MPG isn’t what I expected. Any tips to improve it?

Make sure you’re checking your tire pressure regularly. Under-inflated tires can really hurt your fuel economy!

32

Another tip is to use synthetic oil and keep up with regular maintenance. It’s amazing how much that helps!

I agree! Switching to synthetic oil made a noticeable difference for me!

Also, try to avoid aggressive driving. Smooth acceleration and braking can increase overall efficiency. It really works!

True! I’ve noticed that my MPG improves when I take it easy on the gas pedal.

36

Consider adding a tonneau cover for your bed. It can help reduce drag and improve your MPG, especially on highway trips.

37

That’s a great idea! I’ve been thinking about getting one too.

38

I’ve heard that removing unnecessary weight from the truck can also help. Have you removed anything from yours?

39

Actually, yes! I took out the old toolbox I never use. It’s made a slight difference in my MPG.

What about fuel choice? Are you guys using premium? I heard it can help with performance, but is it worth the cost?
