I get 11.5 MPG towing my 5W (about 14K GVW) at 62 MPG (speed at which the TC locks up in 6th gear).
Around town I get 13 MPG and 20 MPG at 65 on the Interstate when empty.
I have 65K on the ticker right now but will bump that up significantly as leave for AK on Thursday. My LBZ is the first diesel I've owned. Have had minor repair issues with GMs el-cheapo tranny hoses leaking at the crimps and the replacement of 1 glow plug.
My intention is to keep my '06 D/A until someone has to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
