I averaged 12.1 mpg to and from Norris Lake this weekend.
Wow, I thought diesels were supposed to get better mileage than that. I get 11.5 pulling a Z3 with an Expedition EL.

I averaged 12.9 on my 1,500 mile journey. Truck was loaded down as well as boat. Total weight was almost 14,000 lbs.

Combined weight of my Expy and Z3 is 13,800# (certified scale weight loaded for a typical day at the lake).

Pulling 75 - 80 mph up the hill in TN crush the mileage. Same trip the 13 Suburban is lucky to see 10 mpg and 65-70 on the same hills. I hope the trip in September is close to 14 mpg.
