Can anyone report on how the new diesels perform regarding mileage and power compared to the 2006 models? Thanks.

My nephew has an 07 Chevy crewcab diesel that I have taken on a couple of trips. Running empty at 60 to 75 mph, it got just 18.0 mpg. Pulling a trailer it got 8.5 up to 13 mpg @ 60 mph. My 05 Chevy regular cab has done up to 4 mpg better, but with the new low sulfur fuel, it is not any better than his 07. He has a friend with an 07 Ford; he hasn't seen 10 mpg running empty. The 06 Chevys with the 6 speed Allison sounds like the best combination.

All of a sudden I am starting to feel a little better about selling my 95 F250 Powerstroke a couple years ago. Replaced it with a 01 Chevy 2500 4x4 gas burner. Highway mileage empty was similar, around 17 to 18 on either. The 01 only makes around 8 to 10 pulling a trailer, the diesel was 10 to 12. Getting about ready to pull my 87 Chevy 6.2 diesel 4x4 out of retirement even though well rusted. It makes around 22 empty and 14 pulling a trailer. The 6.2 is SUPPOSED to be a junk motor, but why does it make better mileage than the new ones? Only gripe was it WAS a little short on power in the hills.

Was thinking about trading my Power Stroke 7.3 that has 101,000 miles because the mileage dropped. Have a friend with a 2006 Duramax and his son has a 2006 Cummins. They both get 17-18 empty. Just wondered if the new ones were about the same. I used to get over 20 but not anymore. Thanks.
