  • I just crossed 1500 miles with my 2020 GMC Sierra Elevation Double Cab and I wanted to share my real fuel economy experience. This GM 2.7 Liter Turbo 4cyl engine in the Sierra and Silverado 2019+ pickup trucks is a hell of a motor. I have been really impressed with my truck's fuel economy and how well it performs. Since I now have put on several miles to get a feel for fuel mileage I can happily say the truck is getting 20+ mpg.

    Great informative video. I have a 2023 Silverado 2.7 Turbo 4x4 Crew-cab, we recently did a long trip to Seattle Wa Along HW90 driving through Snoqualmie mountain pass. With 3 passengers and roughly 100lbs of cargo (not towing) we managed to get 20.428 miles per gallon (375miles / 18.4 gallon) amazing torque power and performance this engine have. Definitely turbo kick in around 1500 rpm 👍

    When my lease was up on my 2017 Silverado 5.3L. , went with the 2.7L , was skeptical at first but then thought about it , the 5.3 had a multi displacement engine and was in 4 cyl most of the time on the highway. So let’s give it a shot , very pleased with its performance best mpg so far 30.2 on a trip. Haven’t towed with it yet but it’s nice not to gas up every week. 23k miles so far and no complaints.

    I got the 2.7 liter and love it. For what I do not much towing but do go in the mountains it’s preformed very well for a 2.7. I did pull a trailer to on a 5 hour drive the load was not supper have or near max what it says it does. But I didn’t notice the trailer at all and fuel it’s what figured for a gas engine pulling a trailer. So far I’m very impress with it. I think everyone avoids it cause they are use to a full size truck been a v8 or 6. But for the price and preforming it’s down very well

      the 2.8 is being neglected. With some minor updates and paired with a 10 speed it would do a lot better. FFS its getting out classed by the 3.0 in the much larger Silverado. By definition a smaller, lighter truck with a smaller engine that has 80% of the power should get better fuel economy, and it doesn't.

    under ideal weather conditions - with a bed tonneau - it will be notably better. Also 87 octane is a trade-off ... cheaper gas, lower fuel economy - especially on winter blend. I have an ecotec 2.0 in my passenger car ... on snow tires and idling a lot in winter, on 87 octane - the fuel economy dropped by 15%. With the tonneau cover in summer, properly inflated tires and higher octane fuel - you might see over 23mpg average - even better on the highway staying around the speed limit.

    Really considering this as I never tow and ONLY drive at 55mph no city. Sometimes highway. Currently averaging 18.5mpg life over 40 000 in a Z71 LT2 rally 2 5.3 2018 Chevrolet Silverado (damn that was long). I'd have to keep the duramax 10 years to make it worth it. By that time I'll have a electric truck lol.

    Not bad mileage. My 8000 lb Dually 2005 Ram Cummins diesel 4 door 4x4 8foot bed truck gets about 17mpg on the highway trips. Around town 14 to 15. That highway driving I was driving from Lititz Pennsylvania to Newport News VA. rather fast. I get my best mileage keeping the tach under 2000 rpm. Over that and the turbo spools up which kills mileage. On the Cummins forum, there are people who hyper mileage these diesel trucks and say they can get in the low 20's

Best I’ve gone in the 5.3 was 28.8mpg on a long highway ride. Usually I’m in the 24-26mpg highway. That cylinder shut off works very well, and I’ve modified my driving to get it to cruise in 4cyl mode.

      I am having the same issues with my 19 Sierra with the 4.3 V6. Terrible fuel economy because of the big hood and bulkiness of the truck. It's creating too much wind resistance as that big hood and big bulk is trying to punch a hole through the air thus causing the motors to work harder. Here's an explanation:
      gmauthority.com/blog/2018/09/2019-silverado-fuel-economy-why-the-numbers-barely-moved/
      Poor judgement by GM in letting this happen when its closest competitors, Ford and Dodge, are getting better fuel economy from similar engines. The big hood and low seating also inhibits visibility. In the base model I have, there isn't even a manual adjust for height. Even a base Cruze has it. I even sat in a Sierra that had a power seat and it didn't make much of a difference as the seat starts off too low and the power version does not life it high enough to get a good view.
      I've owned GM trucks for 30 years...this one has been the most disappointing....5 recalls, the radio had to be replaced, and the doors needed to be resealed due to water leaks. Now, I'm getting a hard 1-2 shift in the tranny, a tremendous amount of rattling in the cab when the truck travels over bumpy terrain, and a lot of wind noise. Wish I could trade it in but I'd lose too much money.

    Im not sold on the 2.7L.
    With 4 cylinders, a turbo charger, and all the stuff GM has done to the engine to coax power out of it. I cant see the fuel savings offsetting the cost of ownership when considering the cost of parts and labor after the warranty is up. If you can afford to get into a new truck every 3 years, then it's probably cost-effective. After 5 years, even with regular maintenance, like most vehicles, stuff is going to break and Turbos aren't cheap.
    I will stick with my 5.3l with AFM. Replacing a lifter will still be cheaper than the cost of replacing a turbocharger.
