I have a ‘21 and it’s the first diesel I’ve ever owned. I’ll be hard pressed to go back to a gas burner.
I average around 18-19 mpg around town on 34’s (lots of stop/go) and the power/torque is very impressive. I’ve gotten as much as 26 on the interstate but don’t do a lot of interstate driving.
I don’t know if the mpg makes up for the difference in fuel cost, I didn’t buy it for that, but it’s a nice bonus for a truck that pulls as well as it does.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

I'm on my 2nd 3.0 Duramax and I think it's a fantastic engine. Smooth, powerful and great mileage. I'm averaging 23.5 to 24 mpg on my daily driving and get 26+ mpg on the road. This is with OEM tires and I have a lead foot. My last truck was leveled and had larger tires which does cut the mileage.

Good point on the more fuel expense versus miles per gallon. The oil change expense is also higher I believe? Regardless, the diesel trucks are great work trucks!! God Bless, David B.

Went to Tuscaloosa today and picked up an AT4 with the 3.0 duramax. Time will tell, but I think I’ll like it.
If it’s that white one that was leveled up that joker is sharp!
