Yea the 6.5 is a turbo diesel, they tend to be more Efficient than gas engines. If I keep under 70 mph on the highway it get 18+ mpg.Thanks for all the welcomes.

Great buy, glad to see those mpg numbers in your sig! Nice other cars, too!Quote, originally posted by "lowincash" »welcome...wow our 6.5L gets 15-16 mpg average? i think there's something wrong with my maxima...it's a 3.5L and i'm getting the same thing =/See, the way mercedes added some blue crap to their diesels, well, Chevy adds magic to theirs.Mine's a 3.8L S/C and it gets 17.6ish, all city and under really bad conditions for the car.
