19-25 liters per 100km depends on hills and how fast you put your foot into it
Back and forth to work and some hiway and stop and go. 14.5 liters per 100km
Thats warm up and cool down. Run across town and such.
Avreges better than my 2016 dodge 3500 drw with cummins and a standard.
I am happy best truck i have owned
Winter time add 2 liters per hundred on average

My 2018 gas unit HD3500 Gmc does about the same.
EMT 15L/100 km
loaded 21/100 km

Been a HD Mechanic for 35 years and gas is a lot cheeper to run.
Buying a diesel is like buying an Electric car .
Its cheep at first then you pay .
Replacing injectors on a Gm is about $10,000.
Fuel cost more at the pumps .
oil changes cost more .
Buying a diesel truck is $10,000. more than gas truck

Buying a gas unit you get to drive free for 5 years on fuel on the money you save not buying a diesel.
Its a no brainer.
Ask any Diesel Mechanic
