most people get 12-15 in the city

What was causing my 6000lb truck with a 6.0 motor to be getting bad gas mileage. :1Have you ever even driven one of these vehicles? I know you've never owned one so you have -0- first hand experience with them, only internet knowledge of what Chevy tells you.

Test 4WD extendeds with 5.3 V8 and automatic transmission averaged 13.7 mpg. Test 6.0 Crew Cab averaged just 7.2 mpg in exclusively city driving; it should do better with more highway use. Test Denalis averaged 13.3-14.5 mpg in city/highway mix. All engines use regular-grade fuel.

I enjoy driving this truck but it is more slugish than I expected. The average fuel milage I am getting 9.6 miles per gallon, that sucks. That on top of all the plastic on the interior is enough to make me look elsewhere for my next truck.
